The muscle-fueling protein in peas is one of the unique benefits of this versatile green veggie.⁷ Keep in mind that peas are a starchy vegetable, so about a ½ cup is the perfect amount for one serving. Try them in a fresh spring soup or side dish with parsley and lemon. Peas can also be easily frozen — keep them on hand to toss a handful into a dish you’re cooking, or, just zap them in the microwave to defrost and top your next salad with them.
