Description
White peas or Safed vagina is often used to make Ragda patice. The peas quite look like garbanzo beans ( chole), except that they are smaller in size and white in color.
Safed vataana leads to dried white peas. When fresh peas are not available or when you want to enjoy a starchier, hardier flavored legume, dried peas or white vataana are the perfect choices as they are available any time of the year.
Dried peas, a small but nutritionally mighty member of the legume family, are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber.
They not only help lower cholesterol, but they are also of special benefit in managing blood-sugar disorders. Their high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising rapidly after a meal.
Dried peas also provide good to excellent amounts of four primary minerals, two B-vitamins, and protein. Dried peas, like other legumes, are rich in soluble fiber.
They are a good source of potassium, which may reduce the growth and development of blood vessel plaques and is also good for reducing high blood pressure.
