The unique combo of nutrients in peas can help maintain heart, eye, brain and bone health while protecting against cancer, diabetes and blood disorders. Our challenge this week is to eat a couple servings of peas, in whatever form makes you happy. Get a load of this list of nutrients in a half-cup, for just 62 calories: Fiber: 4 grams Protein: 4 grams Carbs: 11 grams Vitamin A: 34% of the RDI Vitamin K: 24% of the RDI Vitamin C: 13% of the RDI Thiamine: 15% of the RDI Folate: 12% of the RDI Manganese: 11% of the RDI Iron: 7% of the RDI Phosphorus: 6% of the RDI You can eat peas raw, steamed, crispy and dried, and you can even drink protein-packed pea milk, which is now available in many grocery stores near nut milks. It’s a lot creamier than nut milks and doesn’t taste one bit like peas. Are you in for this challenge? Let us know! REFERENCE: https://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/0516p66.shtml
