Peas Are the New Power Food
Springtime is fresh pea season. But the good news is that frozen peas allow you to get the health benefits of peas year-round, because they are frozen at their peak—helping to preserve their nutrients. Frozen peas are packed with all the protein, fiber, and other nutrients found in fresh ones.
Peas, which are legumes, have been shown to improve heart health and type 2 diabetes, satisfy hunger better than meat, and benefit environmental health.
Plentiful Plant Protein
One cup of frozen peas is loaded with about 8 grams of healthy plant protein! Research shows that replacing animal protein with plant protein, like that found in peas, can reduce the risk of early death and lead to a longer life.
Full of Fiber
There are also about 7 grams of fiber in a cup of frozen peas. Fiber helps with digestion, weight loss, heart health, and cancer prevention. You should aim for 40 grams of fiber a day. Peas contain both soluble fiber, which helps lower cholesterol, and insoluble fiber, which acts like a broom, cleaning your digestive tract.
So hit your freezer section and load up on frozen peas today.
