Yes, peas are a starchy vegetable but they are a healthy vegetable as peas are a resistant starch*. All varieties of peas are good sources of fiber, vitamin C and a surprisingly amount of protein. Include peas in soups, salads, skillet meals, etc. You do not have to have them as the main dish to get the benefits. Even diabetics should include fresh or frozen peas in their diets.
