Green Peas Masala

We have traditionally thought about green peas as a ‘starchy vegetable’ that can’t provide much in the way of nutrition. But it’s time to change our thinking.  Green peas are fully loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients.

So include a lot of green peas in your diet, especially in your breakfast.
