Key Health Benefits
1. High Vitamin K for Bone Health
Green peas are one of the best plant sources of Vitamin K1. This vitamin is crucial for activating osteocalcin, the protein that anchors calcium molecules inside the bone. It also plays a vital role in healthy blood clotting.
2. Immune-Boosting Vitamin C
Unlike dried pulses (like Toor or Chana dal) which lose most of their Vitamin C during the drying process, fresh green peas are a potent source of this antioxidant. It supports the immune system and aids in the production of collagen for healthy skin.
3. Eye Health (Lutein & Zeaxanthin)
Green peas contain high amounts of carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin. These nutrients are concentrated in the retina and protect your eyes from chronic diseases such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
4. Blood Sugar Regulation
Even though they contain natural sugars, green peas have a Low Glycemic Index.Their high fiber and protein content slow down the absorption of sugar, making them a safe and healthy addition to a diabetic diet.
5. High Saponins for Cancer Protection
Green peas contain Saponins, plant compounds known for their anti-cancer properties. Research suggests these compounds may help prevent several types of cancer and inhibit tumor growth by inducing cell death in unhealthy cells.
