Tamar Yadin, clinical dietitian, Herbalife consultant: "Peas are a plant from the legume family. Their health benefits are many: they are low in fat and rich in protein and dietary fiber. In doing so, they slow down the rate of carbohydrate absorption into the bloodstream and prevent insulin resistance and pre-diabetes. The fiber also helps with intestinal motility and prevents constipation.

""Peas are also rich in vitamin B (B1, B2, B3, B6), which aid in many processes in the body, including those related to energy production and metabolism, as well as vitamin A, a powerful antioxidant, and vitamin K, which helps absorb calcium in our bodies and prevent osteoporosis.".
""In addition, peas are rich in antioxidants: flavonoids, carotenoids, polyphenols and phenolic acid, as well as, as mentioned, vitamin C, which is also a strong antioxidant - all of which help prevent inflammation and protect against unwanted substances such as free radicals that damage cells. These are all excellent reasons to eat peas, frozen or dried.""
