Peas are a good source of vitamins C and E, zinc, and other antioxidants that strengthen your immune system. Other nutrients, such as vitamins A and B and coumestrol, help reduce inflammation and lower your risk of chronic conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis. Eating green peas regularly may reduce the risk of cancer, mostly due to peas' antioxidant content and their ability to reduce inflammation in the body ( 27 ). Green peas also contain saponins, plant compounds known for having anti-cancer effects.
Peas benefit your immune system with antioxidant vitamins, especially if you eat them raw. A cup of raw peas has 58 milligrams of vitamin C, providing 65 percent of the daily requirement for men and 77 percent for women. The same amount of cooked peas has 23 milligrams of vitamin C. Peas are also rich in B-vitamins.
