Green baby peas

Baby green peas, also known as baby peas or petit pois in different Hispanic American countries, are the tender and small pods of the Pisum sativum plant. Unlike traditional peas, baby peas are harvested when they are immature, which gives them a soft texture and a sweet, fresh flavor, ideal for adding a delicate and crunchy touch to salads, stir-fries, and stews.

This ingredient has its origins in traditional European agriculture, although today it is cultivated in many regions of the world due to its versatility in the kitchen. Baby green peas are valued not only for their taste but also for their nutritional contribution: they are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins A, C, and B complex, as well as minerals like iron and potassium.

Their use in recipes allows one to take full advantage of the nutritional power of legumes without the tougher texture that mature peas can have, making them perfect for quick and fresh preparations. Furthermore, their vibrant color provides visual appeal to any dish.
