Peas - source of fiber


Peas help stabilize blood sugar levels. While peas are among the richest foods in vitamin B1. Pea consumption helps reduce risk of heart disease.
As the amount of peas you need to eat an adult, nutritionists recommended to consume between 100 and 150 grams of fresh or frozen peas every day.

This quantity of peas ensures a daily dose of thiamine people, half of the necessary amount of fiber and about one fifth of the recommended daily allowance of iron. It should be noted that canned peas should be avoided because the vegetable packing loses most nutrients and, in addition, salt is added, experts warn. Fresh peas can be stored in the refrigerator, but must be fully consumed two days after being picked.
