Protein-rich Pea Spread with Fresh Herbs

Sometimes, it’s the simplest recipes that make the biggest difference in your daily routine. This green pea spread combines plant-based protein with fresh herbs, valuable bitter compounds, and healthy fats from tahini. It’s quick to prepare, easy to digest, and brings an intense freshness to your plate. Peas provide fiber and plant-based protein, while lemon juice and herbs support digestion and give the spread a vibrant, aromatic note. Tahini completes the cream with essential minerals and ensures a harmonious, smooth texture.

Are frozen peas considered raw food?

Organic frozen peas are usually not strictly “raw” because they are briefly blanched before freezing. This step is necessary to preserve shelf life, color, and flavor, but it means they no longer meet the criteria of a completely unheated raw food. While they are gently processed and nutrient-dense, they are technically not part of a 100% raw diet.
