Shelling Peas are in-season

Shelling peas are in season over at Jumping Red Ant and they have pre-made bags all ready for you too. Peas are a great addition to our food intake as they have many health benefits. For our eyes, peas contain the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin – these nutrients help protect your eyes from chronic diseases such as cataracts. For our digestive health, peas are high in fibre which helps to move food along our digestive system. Peas are also packed with vitamins and minerals that help to build our immune system, which is so important in the winter months – these vitamins and minerals include vitamin C, zinc and vitamin E. Jumping Red Ant at the moment also have some beautiful native flowers for us so go and check them out too.
