Peas

Peas are available starting in June.

Peas are members of the legume family. Peas have been used in the dry form since ancient times, and archaeologists found them in Egyptian tombs.

Peas are a good low calorie source of protein. A 100-calorie serving of peas (about ¾ cup) contains more protein than a whole egg or a tablespoon of peanut butter and has less than one gram of fat and no cholesterol.
