Peas are the WIC-approved food of the month!
Peas are packed with health benefits, and they’re a highly versatile kitchen staple that can be eaten raw, steamed, boiled, roasted, or pan-fried.
Peas are packed with antioxidants that help build your immune system. They also contain carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which can protect your eyes from chronic diseases! Peas are also a great source of protein and fiber, helping your body break down carbohydrates and manage your blood sugar!
