Don't let the size fool you. Peas are often overlooked as a source of nutrition, but according to Beller just a half a cup has 5.5g of fiber and 5g of protein. That in addition to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits should move it up a few notches on your food-shopping list. If you can't buy fresh peas, opt for frozen, recommends Beller. Just steer clear of canned versions, as some of the nutrients get sacrificed in the canning process.
