Healthy, because
Sweet peas also belong to the group of peas, and they are one of the best sources of vitamin B1. Anyone who does a lot of sport or is regularly under stress needs a lot of the "nerve vitamin", which is also involved in energy production. The tasty Italian pea rice also contains many other important B vitamins!
