Benefits

Eye health
Peas contain the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. These nutrients help protect your eyes from chronic diseases such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Lutein and zeaxanthin act as filters from harmful blue light.
Digestive health
Peas are rich in coumestrol, a nutrient that plays a role in protecting against stomach cancer. A 2009 study done in Mexico City showed that daily intake of Peas and other legumes lowered the risk of stomach cancer by 50%.
Blood sugar control
Peas are loaded with fiber and protein, which help to regulate the way you digest starches. The protein and fiber in Peas slow the breakdown of carbohydrates and help to control your blood sugar. Studies show that eating a high-protein diet decreases blood sugar after meals in people with type 2 diabetes.
Heart health
Inflammation and stress caused by free radicals (oxidation) can contribute to plaque formation along blood vessel walls. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids found in Peas help to reduce oxidation and inflammation and prevent plaques from forming.
