Peas are a good source of proteins. They are low in fat. Nutritionally, peas are a good source of some vitamins and minerals. In particular they are a good vegan source of&nbsp;iron&nbsp;which is needed for making new red blood cells and transporting oxygen around the body, and&nbsp;B vitamins, which help us convert the energy from&nbsp;our food. They are also a good source of&nbsp;phosphorus. We need phosphorus to help build strong bones and teeth. Green peas also contain&nbsp;lutein,&nbsp;which provides benefits to eye health and reduce the risk of macular degeneration and eye-related diseases.

Escarole contains two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. They act differently in the body. While soluble fiber feeds the&nbsp;friendly bacteria in the gut, the insoluble type passes through the digestive system unchanged, promoting gut health by pushing food through the gut and stimulating bowel movements. Notably, escarole provides mostly insoluble fiber. Escarole is rich in provitamin A. This vitamin&nbsp;promotes eye health, as it’s an important component of rhodopsin, a pigment in the retina that helps discern between lightness and darkness. Chronic&nbsp;vitamin A deficiencies&nbsp;are linked to visual issues like night blindness, a condition in which people can’t see well at night but have no trouble with their vision in the daylight. Vitamin A deficiencies are also associated with macular degeneration, an age-related decline in eyesight that results in blindness. In addition to its impressive nutrient profile, escarole boasts many powerful&nbsp;antioxidants, which are compounds that defend the body against oxidative stress and unstable molecules called free radicals. Long-term oxidative stress may trigger inflammation.

Vitamin K is important for normal blood clotting, as well as regulating calcium levels in heart and bones. Leafy greens like escarole deliver a subtype called vitamin K1. Copper supports proper bone, connective tissue, and red blood cell formation, whereas&nbsp;folate&nbsp;helps ensure proper metabolism and create red and white blood cells. Both minerals are especially important for proper fetal development and thus vital for&nbsp;women who are pregnant&nbsp;or planning to become pregnant.
