We all have that convenient bag of peas hiding somewhere at the back of our freezers. Adding it to some rice or a curry to get some greens hardly ever does the vegetable any justice.

Peas, the underrated miracle food with a wealth of benefits. According to Real Food for life, peas are great in regulating your blood sugar, assists in preventing stomach cancer and its high Vitamin K content holds the calcium in your bones.

We have rounded up 5 of our most heavenly pea recipes that will give you a reason to use up that green bag.

  1. Minted pea hummus

A great way to incorporate frozen peas is to make a delicious pesto, serve with freshly cut vegetables or as a dip for tortilla chips!
