vegetable, so they are a healthier substitute for meat. Three
quarters cup of peas provides 6 grams of protein, plus thiamine,
riboflavin, niacin, calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium and 645
units of vitamin A.
Unfortunately most of food industries in developing nations cheating the customers with fake greens peas which are prepared from toxic chemicals (dyes). These industries preparing the green peas form brown peas (cheaper) by soaking them in dye solution for overnight.
