White Peas
White peas, also known as Safed vatana or Safed matar, are made by harvesting green pea pods when they are fully grown, drying them, removing their skins, and then allowing them to naturally split. The peas’ rich green hue turns white or faintly yellowish-white when they are dried.
These dried peas have a more delicate flavour and are starchier, tougher, and more durable. White peas are an excellent, healthful, and nutrient-dense substitute for green peas because they aren’t constantly available.
Description
Although white peas and chickpeas (garbanzo beans) are sometimes confused, they can be clearly recognised from one another by their small size, spherical form, and white hue. The larger ones are also slightly brown or yellow in colour. White peas are in the same family as beans and lentils, but because of how they are processed, they are placed in a different category.
Beans are a good source of protein, 16 g per cup. White pea also supplies at least a quarter of the recommended amounts of thiamine, folic acid, iron, copper, potassium, phosphorus, manganese and magnesium per day. A 1-cup serving of beans contains 255 calories and 1,1 g of fat.
