Just a few hours after lamenting about peas being classed as a legume, not a vegetable, and therefore non-paleo, it would appear that despite this fact, as far as nutrition goes, they are actually rather good for you. Mark Sisson of Mark’s Daily Apple posted a detailed post about asking the question, are green beans and peas healthy? and came to the conclusion that they are. Good enough for me!

Alas I still need to ditch the dried peas but it is another vegetable (legume, whatever!) to my limited arsenal! And hey, they’re green!
