Nutritional values

Peas score points with abundant vegetable protein, which promotes the development and maintenance of muscle mass. Thanks to the mineral magnesium, the minis also prevent cramps and headaches and are good for our nerves. For healthy skin and mucous membranes, there is beta-carotene provided from spinach. It also supports good eyesight.

Fit food peas: The legume, which originally comes from Asia, provides plenty of thiamine. This B vitamin is essential for life, as it is responsible for the functioning of muscles, heart, and nerves, among other things. In combination with the high-quality protein components arginine and lysine, the green globules thus strengthen both physical and mental performance.
