The K-factor (potassium-to-sodium ratio) in peas far exceeds the defined range for having a blood pressure-lowering effect (K-factor ≥ 10). Modern dietary therapy experts praise peas as the "blood pressure-lowering bean."
The content of components in peas (including fresh and dried), such as carotene, Vitamin Bt, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C, is relatively high, which is of great significance for protecting the normal physiological function of blood vessels. Therefore, for those suffering from hypertension or elevated blood pressure with symptoms like headaches, irritability, and a wiry pulse, it is highly beneficial to regularly consume dishes and soups cooked with peas and their products.
