Mint-Pea Salad
Background info: Archaeological evidence shows us that the humble pea was first domesticated around 5000 BC. During this first movement towards farming and cultivating, these ancient Neolithic cultures would purposefully opt for peas that had a softer shell that would allow them to mature during the wet season.
Peas boast a healthy dose of minerals that combat common deficiencies, such as iron, calcium, and vitamin C. Peas also contain manganese, which is an essential conduit needed for effective antioxidant function in the body.
