The high content of vegetable protein makes canned green peas a very valuable component of the diet of vegetarians and vegans. However, you should know that peas do not contain a complete set of exogenous amino acids – they lack methionine, so it is worth supplementing the diet with foods rich in this amino acid to make up for the deficiency. Phytic acid, lectins are anti–nutritional substances that, with excessive consumption of peas, cause flatulence and prevent the absorption of iron, calcium, zinc and magnesium.
