Sunday 10 February is the first ever World Pulses Day, celebrating all things beans, peas and lentils across the globe. We’re singing the praises of the humble pea – often overlooked as a legume – peas are an easy and tasty way of upping your veggie and legume intake.
Peas are packed full of essential nutrients to help maintain our health, including fibre – just 1/2 cup of peas provides us with a fifth of our daily fibre intake.
