Nutritionally they are also interesting for their low content in salt and fat.
Peas are suitable for controlling blood sugar levels well. They provide antiglycemic compounds such as fiber, specifically pectin, and vitamin B3 or Niacin, which transform carbohydrates into energy and lower blood glucose levels.
This fiber at the same time, provides a feeling of fullness and helps digest food more slowly. It helps us to "not snack" between meals due to the feeling of satiety for longer, to control blood sugar levels, to lose weight, to improve chronic constipation, due to its laxative and intestinal regulating effect.
Pea sprouts, as good legumes that they are, provide us with important proteins such as legumin.
But it is necessary to complete these proteins with other foods that contain essential amino acids, such as rice, since this way we will obtain a high protein value. Peas contain vitamins B2 or Rivoflamin to protect the nervous system and improve our mood, fight stress and tensions.
To finish with the nutritional properties of pea sprouts, they are a source of iron and folic acid, essential to combat anemia and deficiency states of these elements.
