his tiny pod encompasses a hoard of nutrients in it ranging from protein, fibre, B-complex vitamins, folic acid, vitamin C, lutein, manganese, iron, copper, zinc and calcium. 1 cup (approx 150 gm) of fresh boiled green peas provides as much as 9 gm of protein (makes up to 1/6th of RDA) and 9 gm of fibre (makes up to 1/3rd of the RDA). Relish them fresh when in season or can blanch and store them in a deep-freezer to relish its goodness all round the year.
