In terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Green Peas are known for their ability to tonify yin. They also are known to help regulate water, promote urination, and lubricate the intestines.

Green peas are starchy, but high in fiber, protein, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin K, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc and lutein. Dry weight is about one-quarter protein and one-quarter sugar.
