Snow Peas
May help prevent:
cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, osteoporosis

Because snow peas are flat pods containing tiny immature peas, they provide many of the same health benefits of mature green peas. Snow peas support a strong immune system with their team of vitamin C and iron and promote healthy blood pressure with potassium and fibre. In addition, phytosterols, fibre, folate, vitamin C, and beta-carotene work together to cut the risk for heart disease and lower risk of cancer. With 35 calories and 2.5 grams of fibre per cup, snow peas support healthy waistlines, lowering the risk of heart disease and obesity. The calcium, phosphorous and magnesium content of snow peas contributes to strong bones and reduces risk of osteoporosis.

Action Tip:These crisp edible pods are delicious simply steamed and served plain. Snow peas add delicate flavour and crunchy texture to stir-fry, soups, salad or in oriental style dishes.
