How to weigh green peas
The table uses cooked shelled peas. It does not apply to edible pods, dried split peas or a can weighed with its liquid. Frozen peas may provide a package reference that better matches your own product.
Calculate your own green peas portion
For the 100 g example, multiply the source amounts by 100 ÷ 100 = 1. The unrounded energy calculation is 85.4 × 1 = 85.4 kcal, displayed as approximately 85 kcal. Use the same factor for protein, available carbohydrate, fat and fiber.
For another amount, replace 100 with your own edible weight. Keep the preparation as boiled green peas without salt; if your food is prepared differently, choose a matching reference or calculate its recipe instead.
How preparation changes the estimate
Peas contribute carbohydrate as well as protein and fiber. Buttered peas, pea puree and pea soup include different ingredients or water. A small spoonful of peas can complement a meal without being its only protein component.
