About Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a classic British side dish made by boiling dried marrowfat peas and mashing them into a soft, creamy consistency. Often seasoned with salt and a touch of butter or mint, they pair famously with fish and chips. Rich in dietary fiber, mushy peas support healthy digestion and provide plant-based protein, making them a nutritious choice. They are also a good source of vitamins C and K, as well as essential minerals like iron and potassium. However, their nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation; added butter or salt can increase calorie and sodium content. Traditionally enjoyed throughout the UK, mushy peas offer a comforting, earthy flavor while serving as a wholesome accompaniment to hearty meals.
