Give Peas a Chance...

Maybe it’s because of it’s peak season for the peas, we have been throwing them in our salads for that extra sweet crunch, color and texture!

Peas are a fair source of vitamins A and C, as well as niacin and iron.  Like most legumes they are high in carbs and calories.  Use sparingly!
