What it is

Whole green peas are the immature seeds of the pea plant (Pisum sativum). They are harvested when plump and sweet, then typically blanched and frozen or canned for preservation. Peas are a natural source of plant-based nutrients.

Whole green peas are recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for general food use. They are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. JECFA has evaluated peas and their components, and EFSA has also reviewed pea protein. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels of whole green peas.
