Pea

Pisum sativum · Vegetables

Peas are a legume with sweet, edible seeds enclosed in a pod, and a good source of vitamins A, C and K, B-vitamins, fibre and plant protein; Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system. They also contain flavonoids and saponins studied in laboratory research for their antioxidant activity. Use fresh or frozen peas in soups, risottos, pastas, salads and stir-fries.

Polyols

SorbitolNot yet analysed

Source: Not yet analysed

What this means

This is pea's own sorbitol content, not a recipe amount. Sorbitol is a polyol — a type of sugar alcohol — calculated from two official food-composition databases, Germany's Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS 4.0) and the French Ciqual table. Recipes are evaluated separately against a 0.20 g threshold (a per-serving cutoff from Varney et al. 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, applied to one reference serving of the recipe) — an ingredient's own figure isn't directly comparable to that number, since a recipe combines several ingredients in different amounts. This describes the food, not a guarantee about how your body will respond to it.

Total fructose0.07 g

Excess fructoseNot a source

Source: Measured value (BLS 4.0)

What this means

These are pea's own fructose figures, not a recipe amount. Total fructose is how much fructose the food contains. Excess fructose is fructose minus glucose, counted only when positive, since glucose helps the body absorb fructose — it is the figure behind the "Low fructose" filter and the recipe figures. When measured, both come from two official food-composition databases, Germany's Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS 4.0) and the French Ciqual table. Recipes are evaluated separately against a 0.40 g threshold of excess fructose (a per-serving cutoff from Varney et al. 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, applied to one reference serving of the recipe) — an ingredient's own figure isn't directly comparable to that number, since a recipe combines several ingredients in different amounts. This describes the food, not a guarantee about how your body will respond to it.
