For millennia, it was primarily important as a dried legume: durable, nutritious, and the basis for pea porridge and pea soup. Fresh green peas only became fashionable in the 17th century at the court of Louis XIV.<\/p>\n<p>Between 1856 and 1863, the Augustinian monk Gregor Mendel crossbred tens of thousands of pea plants in Brno and observed how traits such as seed color and shape are inherited. His work, published in 1866, was not understood until decades later \u2013 today it is considered the cornerstone of genetics.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"nutzen\">\n<h2><span>To use<\/span>What peas can do for you<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ea-drop\"><strong>Green peas<\/strong> They are unusually high in protein for a vegetable: around 5 g per 100 g, plus fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, thiamin, and lutein. Because they are flash-frozen immediately after harvesting, they are <strong>Frozen peas<\/strong> often more nutritious than fresh peas that have been sitting in stores for days - otherwise their sugar quickly turns into starch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dried peas<\/strong> They provide around 24 percent protein and plenty of fiber, and, like other legumes, have been shown in studies to lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Pea protein is now one of the most important plant proteins in sports nutrition and meat substitutes; in one study, it was found to be similarly effective as whey protein in building muscle.<\/p>\n<p>Peas are considered relatively well-tolerated among legumes and are a classic first vegetable for babies and toddlers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ea-zahlen\">\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>approx. 5 g<\/b><span>Protein per 100g of green peas<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>approx. 24 %<\/b><span>Protein in dried peas<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>1866<\/b><span>Mendel published his pea experiments<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>a few hours.<\/b><span>The time between harvesting and shock freezing is the same for frozen peas.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"inhalt\">\n<h2><span>Ingredients<\/span>This is what&#039;s in peas<\/h2>\n<p>Green peas contain sugar (mainly sucrose, which quickly turns into starch), protein, and fiber., <strong>Vitamin C<\/strong>, Vitamin K, folate, thiamin, manganese and the carotenoids <strong>Lutein<\/strong> and zeaxanthin. Dried peas contain more starch and protein, but hardly any vitamin C.<\/p>\n<p>Pea protein is rich in lysine and arginine, but low in methionine \u2013 combining it with grains balances this out.
