Seven Times More Vitamin C Than Oranges

What should we be filling our dinner / lunch plates with?
Number one on the list is surely the pea-shoot, the curly leaves of the immature garden pea vine.
Gram for gram, these unassuming plants contain seven times more Vitamin C than oranges – which has a role in the formation of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and bone, helps the absorption of iron from food, supports the immune system and is an antioxidant, which some studies have claimed could protect against cancer.
Curiously, they taste much like the actual pea itself – and contain four times more Vitamin A than tomatoes.
They are also a rich source of folic acid, one of the B vitamins, which helps produce healthy cells and blood and is also essential during pregnancy.
