Abstract
The COVID-19 epidemic has highlighted the crucial need to live a healthy lifestyle, particularly in metropolitan areas. As a result, there has been an increase in demand for functional foods that are high in important nutrients and support excellent health. Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is one of the oldest multipurpose legumes grown for human food, animal fodder, and ornamental and aids in ecosystem balance due to their innate nitrogen fixation potential (Devi et al., 2019; Devi et al., 2023). They are grown over an area of 7.04 and 2.59 million hectares for dry and green seeds, respectively (FAOSTAT, 2021). Peas have a beautiful balance of micro and macro nutrition profiles along with high dietary fiber, antioxidants and numerous important biomolecules, thus extremely useful in curing diabetes, cardio problems, certain cancers and many degenerative diseases (Kalloo et al., 2002; Kumari & Deka, 2021; Sharma et al., 2023).
