Green peas are pale green coloured, rounded, mildly sweet tasting, mature legumes that have most of their moisture removed. They are low in calories and contain negligible amounts of sodium, fat and cholesterol. Vitamins A, C, K and B6 are present in plenty. Dried peas benefits include the lowering risk of heart disease. The former helps to improve blood flow, and the latter helps to maintain blood pressure, thus lowering the chance of plaque buildup in blood vessels.Dried green peas are soaked in water prior to cooking and make great quick-snacks in the absence of fresh peas. They are used in curries, sabjis, salads and soups, and are a key pulse in chats.
