Peas Peas are lower in calcium and phosphorus than beans, but they provide similar levels of protein and carbohydrates. They are a good source of protein, B vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, iron, and potassium. Dried peas are an excellent source of fiber. Green peas are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and carotenes. Even though dried peas contain less nutrients than fresh peas, they are more calorie-dense due to their lack of water. Dried peas provide the same nutritional content and health benefits as common beans. Green peas provide a little more additional nutrition and antioxidants.
Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
