Peas

Peas are a type of legume as well. Peas' high-quality protein, fiber, micronutrients, and antioxidant properties help to support good gut bacteria and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Vitamin K, a fat-soluble vitamin important for proper blood clotting and bone health, is high in peas. They're also a good source of protein. Pea protein, which is commonly added to foods or used as a supplement, has been found to offer health benefits in several studies. In a 12-week trial involving 120 men who did weight training, researchers discovered that taking 50 grams of pea protein per day resulted in increased muscle thickness when compared to a placebo. Muscle gains also associated with pea protein were comparable to those from whey protein.
