Peas, frozen, boiled in unsalted water

Peas are a vegetable, and the figures here describe frozen peas boiled in unsalted water. They mainly provide carbohydrate, alongside fibre and protein. Per 100g, they contain 11g of carbohydrate, 5.5g of fibre and 5.5g of protein. They also provide vitamin C, with 12mg per 100g.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Peas prepared in this way contain little salt or saturated fat, although adding salt, butter or sauces will change the nutritional content. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
