Green Peas benefits for Weight loss : If you’re trying to lose weight then green peas are a healthy option to be included in your diet as they are rich in insoluble dietary fibre or high in fiber which will make you feel fuller for a long time and prevent you from eating (1) (2). Being a source of vegetarian protein it aids in weight loss (3).
    2. Bone Health : Green Peas are rich in Vitamin K which aids in bone metabolism. Bone metabolism is a continuous process where mature bone tissue is removed from the skeleton and replaced by new tissue. When injuries occur to the bone like fractures or bruises, then Vitamin K sets in to heal the injury. Vitamin K prevents the loss of bone density and therefore prevents the onset of Osteoporosis (4).

Such medium chain triglycerides get directly used up in the form of energy rather than being stored in the form of fats, thus avoiding weight gain. They also help boost metabolism and thus curb hunger.
