Peas with no salt added

Unsalted peas are small, round, sweet green legumes, highly valued in cooking for their soft texture and delicate flavor. These peas are available fresh, frozen, or canned without the addition of salt, making them a healthy and versatile option for various recipes.

Origin: Peas are native to the Mediterranean region and Southwest Asia, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years. Today, their production extends to many parts of the world due to their adaptability and nutritional value.

Properties: Unsalted peas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, vitamins (especially vitamin C and some B vitamins), and minerals such as iron and potassium. Furthermore, their low sodium content makes them ideal for low-salt diets, contributing to cardiovascular health and the proper functioning of the digestive system.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: In different Spanish-speaking countries, peas are also known as arvejas, chícharos, arvejas verdes, or petit pois. These terms vary by region, but all refer to the same green legume used in multiple culinary preparations.
