Five foods that beat eggs for protein and fiber
Eggs are known for protein, but some plant foods quietly pack in even more protein and fiber per serving. Black beans, chickpeas, edamame, green peas, and lentils can change the way you eat and feel.
Peas 1 article
Green peas are the immature seeds of the pea plant, shelled from pods and commonly sold fresh, frozen, or canned. They are steamed, stirred into rice dishes and soups, or served as a simple side, with a mildly sweet, starchy texture. When peas mature and dry, they move into pulse use; split peas are made from those mature dried seeds. That fresh-versus-dried distinction explains why green peas can appear with vegetables while split peas belong with legumes and pulses.
