What are the benefits of pea?

1. Weight Management:
Peas are low fat but high everything else. A cup of peas has less than 100 calories but lots of protein, fiber and micronutrients.
2. Stomach cancer prevention:
Peas contain high amounts of a health-protective polyphenol called coumestrol. A study in Mexico City determined you only need 2 milligrams per day of this phytonutrient to prevent stomach cancer. A cup of peas has at least 10.
3. Anti-aging, strong immune system, and high energy:
This comes from the high levels of anti-oxidants including:
flavinoids: = catechin and epicatechin
carotenoid= alpha-carotene and beta-carotene
phenolic acids = ferulic and caffeic acid
polyphenols = coumestrol
4. Prevention of wrinkles, alzheimer’s, arthritis, bronchitis, osteoporosis and candida
These come from peas strong anti-inflammatory properties. Excess inflammation has also been linked to, heart disease, cancer, and aging in general. These properties include:
Pisumsaponins I and II and pisomosides A and B are anti-inflammatory phytonutrients found almost exclusively in peas.
vitamin C and vitamin E, and a good amount of the antioxidant mineral zinc
omega-3 fat in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).

· the best sources of soluble fiber
· Very low level of fats.
The Fresh peas may contain different nutrient value from dried or canned peas. Dried peas have more calories due to its lack of water. Peas give almost the same nutritional value and health benefits with other common beans but it provides few more nutrients than the others.

Peas are actually seeds that come from peapods, which are actually considered fruits. Peas grow on long climbing vines that have sweet scented pinkish purple blossoms growing off them. The pods that grow off the vines are green in color with up to 5 peas in each pod that are almost 6 inches long and about an inch wide. The pods are edible and tender with a sweet crisp fresh flavor to them, but many people prefer to split the pods open and scoop the peas out to eat instead. The peas inside the pods are small with a round shape and a green color to them. The peas are hard at first, but steaming them in a steamer or boiling the peas in a pan can help soften them up greatly giving them a mushy tender texture and a sweet starchy flavor.

Green peas stand out as an environmentally friendly food. Agricultural research has shown that pea crops can provide the soil with important benefits. First, peas belong to a category of crops called "nitrogen fixing" crops. With the help of bacteria in the soil, peas and other pulse crops are able to take nitrogen gas from the air and convert it into more complex and usable forms. This process increases nitrogen available in the soil without the need for added fertilizer. Peas also have a relatively shallow root system which can help prevent erosion of the soil, and once the peas have been picked, the plant remainders tend to break down relatively easily for soil replenishment. Finally, rotation of peas with other crops has been shown to lower the risk of pest problems. These environmentally friendly aspects of pea production add to their desirability as a regular part of our diet.
