When I see peas in their pods, I'm instantly back in Nana's kitchen, a big bowl between us as we shelled them for dinner. I love that simple memory.
And the peas? Some didn't make it into the bowl for dinner. Their sweet crunch too much temptation.
Turns out they're definitely little circles of goodness:
🫛 rich in fibre to support digestion and hormone health
🫛 good source of plant protein
🫛 full of Vitamin C, K and folate
🫛 antioxidants to support immunity and your eyes
Whether you eat them raw, lightly steamed, still frozen (who else loves frozen peas?), or thrown in a slow cooker at the end, peas bring a lovely bright sweetness and a nutritious hit to many dishes.
Try them like this:
🔸️add to salads for crunch and coloyr
🔸️toss into soups, curries, stews or any slow cooked for extra fibre and protein
🔸️blend into a pea and mint dip
🔸️stir through scrambled eggs or omelets
🔸️smash lightly with a drizzle of olive oils and lemon as a quick, delicious side dish
Peas remind us that small things can be powerful, just like memories made with Nana 💚
