Fresh Pea Sprouts are high in vitamins and minerals. Besides being rich in Vitamin C, they are also loaded with B vitamins, B6, and B9. They also contain large amounts of calcium and potassium. Whether eaten raw or cooked, they make a tasty, nutritious snack or meal. Aside from being low-calorie, they're also high in protein, chlorophyll, and fiber. They're a great addition to salads and other recipes.
