Peas, mange-tout, raw

Mange-tout are peas eaten with their whole edible pods. The figures here describe raw pods with the ends trimmed. They provide carbohydrate and protein, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 4.2g of carbohydrate, 3.6g of protein, 54mg of vitamin C and 0.01g of salt.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Raw mange-tout contain little fat or salt, although adding oil, butter or salty sauces changes the nutritional content of a dish. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
