Sweet corn and green peas are frequent guests on Russian tables.

That is why both canned foods are excellent at filling you up and satisfying your hunger.

Green peas contain carotene, which strengthens the immune system, as well as vitamins A, C, H and group B and several essential microelements.

Corn is not inferior to it in this respect. The golden grains contain a rich vitamin palette, consisting of vitamins B9, E, as well as PP, B1, B2, B5, C. In addition, it contains iron, zinc, manganese, potassium, copper, etc.

However, it is necessary to take into account that peas contain purine, which is contraindicated in kidney diseases. And the increased sugar content in corn can make it an enemy for people suffering from diabetes.
