Peas, dried, boiled in unsalted water

Dried peas are mature pea seeds that are dried before cooking. The figures here describe whole dried peas that have been soaked and then boiled in unsalted water. They mainly provide carbohydrate and protein, with 20g of carbohydrate and 6.9g of protein per 100g. They also contain 0.8g of fat and 0.03g of salt per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. These peas also provide minerals, including potassium, which contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Their salt content is low when prepared without added salt; adding salt, stock or sauces can increase the amount in the finished dish. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
