Peas

ByОлена Коновалова
PEAS
          Peas is characterized by a high content of numerous mineral elements, as well as vitamins, proteins, essential and non-essential amino acids, phytosterols, fiber, and purines.
     Consequently, peas are rich in vitamin K (phylloquinone) (67.5% of the daily value per 100 g), vitamin B1 (thiamine) (46.8%), pantothenic acid (40.0%), choline (19.2%), gamma-tocopherol (13.9%), vitamin PP (nicotinic acid) (12.8%), folic acid (9.3%), and vitamin B2 (riboflavin) (9.0%).
     The mineral composition of peas is diverse and rich in macro-, micro-, and ultramicroelements. It predominantly contains: boron (957.1%), vanadium (375.0%), silicon (276.7%), nickel (159.3%), cobalt (131.0%), molybdenum (120.3%), copper (69.0%), manganese (64.0%), phosphorus (51.3%), potassium (50.4%), iron (38.0%), zinc (33.3%), zirconium (22.4%), titanium (21.3%), selenium (20.2%), sulfur (19.0%), chromium (18.0%), lead (17.0%), magnesium (16.7%), rubidium (11.6%), and strontium (10.0%). In trace amounts, peas contain relatively rare microelements for food products, such as bromine (0.8% of the daily value per 100 g) and germanium (0.6%, respectively).
     Peas are distinguished by their content of proteins (30.7%) and essential and non-essential amino acids (37.4% and 23.6% per 100 g, respectively). Notably, the concentration of all detected amino acids in peas (per 100 g) exceeds 10% of the daily value. Peas are particularly rich in essential amino acids: isoleucine (48.3%) and valine (47.2%); among non-essential amino acids, arginine predominates (34.3%).
    Peas are characterized by a high content of phytosterols (245.5% of the daily value per 100 g), primarily beta-sitosterol (125.0%), which allows peas to be classified as “women’s products” (for further details, see Avocado).
       The total carbohydrate content in peas is significant (15.7%), including mono- and disaccharides (12.6%), with glucose (21.0%) being the major component; however, fiber (102.0% of the daily value per 100 g) is the dominant element in the carbohydrate profile. Peas contain significant amounts of starch (39.4 g per 100 g), sugars (2.37 g per 100 g), and pectin (12.0% of the daily value per 100 g).
      Patients with gout should note that peas are characterized by a high concentration of total purine bases: 56.0% of the daily value per 100 g.
     The oxalic acid content per 100 g is low (6 mg), representing 1.5% of the maximum allowable daily intake (for further details, see Rhubarb).
      Peas exhibit a capacity to accumulate the toxic ultramicroelement lead (17.0% of the daily value per 100 g) and the toxic microelement strontium (10.0%, respectively).
