Pea
What it is
Green peas are edible peas used as a vegetable. This reference describes cooked, boiled, drained green peas without added salt.
What it does
For the named reference food, USDA lists 84 kcal, 15.6 g carbohydrate and 5.5 g fiber per 100 g edible portion. The table gives additional nutrients for that same food form. These figures describe composition, not an effect on a disease or a recommended serving.
Research context and ingredient forms
Reference food: Peas, green, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt. These are historical SR Legacy data from the April 2018 release, published in FoodData Central in 2019. A different variety, preparation, water content, or commercial recipe can change the result. For a matching food, a portion estimate scales each value by edible portion grams divided by 100.
Using this information
Green peas differ from mature dried split peas and from edible-pod peas. Choose the matching form before comparing protein, fiber, or carbohydrate per serving.
