Green peas provide fiber, plant-based protein, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants that support fullness and immune function, says nutritionist Caroline Thomason Bunn.
A one-cup serving contains 117 calories, 7.86 g protein, and 8.26 g fiber.
Botanically a legume, green peas are often labeled vegetables.
Bunn says there is no 'healthiest' vegetable, benefits vary by individual needs, and moderation plus enjoying favorite foods during holidays supports a balanced diet.
