Green peas are an annual of the family Legumes, ripe seeds are considered beans, and young green peas of “milk” ripeness, rather, have the properties of a vegetable. Canned green peas are a familiar and beloved product from childhood, an integral part of any holiday feast. The food industry is involved in canning; raw materials for production can be grown almost everywhere. Canned green peas are prepared in tin or glass jars; the shelf life of the product is at least one year.

Canned green peas are made from several varieties of peas, brain or smooth. Depending on the variety, the color, size and shape of the peas will vary. Brain varieties are small, the peas are slightly elongated and have a rich green color. Smooth varieties are distinguished by large grains of a regular round shape, the color of the product is marsh.

Calories in canned green peas

The calorie content of canned green peas is 55 kcal per 100 grams of product.

Composition and beneficial properties of canned green peas

The best product is considered to be one that contains: , . During heat treatment, peas lose some of their beneficial properties, but even in canned form, the product contains coarse dietary fiber, easily digestible vegetable protein, which is practically not inferior to animal protein, vitamins, and minerals, especially, and. The substance inositol, which is found in canned green peas, has the ability to cleanse the liver of fatty deposits. The product is useful for the prevention of diseases of the cardiovascular system, can lower cholesterol levels in the blood and reduce blood pressure. Few people know that canned green peas are an excellent remedy for raising hemoglobin levels and treating anemia. The anti-carcinogenic properties of the product are manifested in the ability to reduce the risk of tumors. Green pea brine is used to treat hangover syndrome.

Harm of canned green peas

The most important problem that always arises when eating canned green peas is an increase in gas formation, so anyone who has problems with the gastrointestinal tract should pay attention to this. In rare cases, the product may cause allergic reactions.

Canned green peas for weight loss

It would be wrong to recommend canned green peas as a dietary product, but the product tends to quickly fill you up, therefore, by eating even a few spoons of green peas, you can get rid of the feeling of hunger for a long time (calorizator). If you use canned green peas as an independent side dish, without mixing them with other vegetables, then severe gas formation can be avoided and digestion can be improved.

Selection and storage of canned green peas

When purchasing canned green peas in a store, you need to carefully inspect the tin for integrity and the absence of dents, damage and rust. The seams should be smooth, without bends. You should shake the jar to estimate the amount of peas, which should be at least 70%. If there is more liquid inside the jar, it is better to refuse the purchase.

It is easier to evaluate the quality of green peas in glass jars. You need to pay attention to the absence of pods, sediment and turbidity in the brine, the integrity and uniform color of the grains. Glass jars of peas should be stored in a dark place; the expiration date is usually indicated by the manufacturers on the packaging.

Homemade canned green peas

Fans of home canning are quite capable of preparing canned green peas on their own. It is necessary to free the young ones from the pods, rinse and blanch for 3-4 minutes in salted water (calorizer). Then drain the water, place the peas in clean jars and pour boiling brine (per liter 1 tablespoon, 1/2 teaspoon, as a preservative - 1 teaspoon or 3 g). Sterilize the jars for 10-15 minutes, seal, turn over and leave until cool.

Canned green peas for cooking

Canned peas are used as an independent side dish, which can be heated or eaten cold; they are added to traditional Olivier, Stolichny and vinaigrette salads, appetizers and vegetable stews.

Greetings! If there was a topic, please provide a link. alas, I didn’t find it myself.
Here’s a question: for example, on a can of beans it says: calorie content 112.2 kcal. net weight - 420 gr. bean weight - at least 275g.
so how to count? Calorie content is indicated for everything in the jar (beans, tomato paste, sugar) for the entire net weight? that is, it turns out 112.2 x 420 / 100 = 471.24 kcal?
or should we only take into account the net weight of the beans: 112.2 x 275 / 100 = 308.55 cal????
the difference is noticeable.
Next is the stew. the calorie content is indicated and that the percentage of meat and fat is according to state regulations.
that is the main question! is the calorie content on the can indicated for the entire net weight or for the weight of the pure product?????
Well, and about cereals. for example buckwheat. calorie content 355 kcal/100 g. Do I understand correctly that you mean a dry product? to get these 355 kcal, you need to cook 100 grams of buckwheat and you will get about 200 grams of boiled buckwheat as a result?

Makc k-113 03-02-2010 10:52

Calorie content is generally a very indirect indicator of nutritional value. The calorie content of a birch log, if you measure it in a standard way, will turn out to be quite large, but you’ll only end up eating sawdust, even if you gnaw the whole log.

YuriB 03-02-2010 10:55

The calorie content of gasoline is even higher

We are quietly sliding into spherical canned food in a vacuum, gentlemen. Honestly, take my word for it, when you lose twenty kilograms from hunger, when you become so weak that you can hardly walk, when in the conditions of BP you begin to put snares on pigeons, or rather, throw bricks at them (for snares are a thing of a great mind), then the question of the calorie content of canned food will be the last thing on your mind.
As for the not so pessimistic forecast, it is better to cook canned food - in the form of soup. 0.5 kg of canned food is enough for five liters of soup.

S.W.
Conventionally, consider the calorie content per 100 grams of the entire contents of the jar - beans, sauce, water, and even dye with nitrates.
Well, the convention of such a “calculus” is garbage. At least it gives at least an order of magnitude, 99.9 percent of the estimated needs are sufficient.

Berlogiy 03-02-2010 12:58

It is worth paying attention not to the calorie content of the product, in this case stew, but to its nutritional value, i.e. for the content of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, because 100 ml of vodka, with a calorie content of ~115-117 kcal, is hardly more satisfying than 100 grams of canned beans. PMSM.

spgr 03-02-2010 20:01

Calculate net weight and multiply by calorie content. Although the calorie content of a particular batch, a particular package comes with some error. There are also unscrupulous manufacturers who indicate lower calorie content in all kinds of cottage cheese, yogurt, juices and other “diet” products.

Cereals, pasta, flour - calorie content is given for dry food.

beans in tomato sauce go cold (both in pure form and with tuna), but warmed up it’s better, especially with the right stew

damn... I asked a very specific question. how to calculate if different data are given. Well, why the hell was it to slide into spherical horses and the calorie content of a birch log???
Thanks to everyone who answered the question!!!
calorie content is needed to roughly estimate food supplies in the house and for outings. It is clear that the ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates must also be taken into account. but that's another question.
Beans go great in soup, for example. a little potato, if you have it, half a can of stew and a can of beans. or, for example, it can be perfectly fried with spices. cold doesn't go so well.
here is a photo with the data.

“As you know, 1 calorie is the amount of energy spent on heating 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. Thus, if you drink a liter of cold beer, temperature 4 degrees Celsius, then your body will spend the following amount to warm it up to body temperature energy: 1000 grams X (37C-4C) = 1000 X 33 = 33,000 calories. If you consider that the energy value of a liter of beer itself is about 10,000 calories, then you get 23 thousand calories of pure weight loss, which is equivalent to 30 minutes of jogging.
Therefore, drink more cold beer to lose weight."

so the one who advises using canned food in the form of hot soup is right

spgr 05-02-2010 01:06

Sorry for being off-topic, but one small correction: “the energy value of a liter of beer itself is about 10,000 calories.” 10,000 calories is 10 kcal (kilocalories) in which the energy capacity is indicated on food labels, that is, it turns out 1 kcal in 100 g of beer.

What cannot be, we have come to a contradiction, which means the original statement is not true

Verda Stelo 05-02-2010 01:38

As for beans in sauce, then

quote: calorie content is indicated for everything that is in the jar (beans, tomato paste, sugar)
That's right.
As for buckwheat - if the calorie content is indicated on a bag of dry buckwheat, then this applies to 100 g of dry buckwheat. If this is a can of canned food “buckwheat with meat” from the “tourist’s breakfast” series (i.e. the can already contains boiled buckwheat), then the can shows the calorie content of boiled buckwheat along with meat, water, spices, etc.
It’s similar for stewed meat - when they measure the calorie content, they open the can, take out all its contents and, to put it simply, burn it, while measuring the amount of energy released.

As already mentioned, calorie content is a very conditional indicator, since it only indicates the amount of energy released during complete oxidation, while completely different processes take place in the body. The TOTAL amount of energy contained in any product is the same and is calculated according to the famous Einstein formula E=mc^2 (this is in Joules if). But the benefit from this figure is exactly the same as from the usual calorie content - your body will not extract this energy from food.
It more or less makes sense to look at the calorie content of carbohydrates - they actually oxidize in the body, as far as I know. The calorie content of stew (as well as other protein products) is not particularly important. In particular, if you take two stews - one with a lot of meat, and the other with fat and all sorts of jelly, the calorie content of the second may be even higher than that of the first (due to fat). And the nutritional value is different.

Palitch 05-02-2010 02:44

Come up with a brand yourself. Something about dietary cannibalism. It already happened with Yu. Kozlov. There's really some homeless people there

spgr 05-02-2010 03:00

It’s wrong about the caloric content conditionality. The digestibility of fats, like carbohydrates, with normal metabolism is quite close to 100%. Even if digestibility fluctuates within 10%, the calorie content will still be a fairly indicative value.

S.W. 26-02-2010 11:01

I'll raise the topic.
here’s another mystery... let’s assume that the calorie content of a product is still an indicative value. We won’t talk about nutritional value, the ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates here. this will begin to affect you over a long period of time.
so here it is. we have two almost identical banks:
- “Eggplant caviar” N&M Bulgaria: composition: eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, sunflower oil, spices and seasonings 420g. proteins 2.23, fats 9.33, carbohydrates 9.6, CALORIES 376 Kcal/100 g. (hmm. comparable to the calorie content of pork stew)
- “Zucchini caviar” ECO 360 gr: ingredients: zucchini, carrots, onions, vegetable oil, tomato paste, salt, sugar, spices. proteins 1 g, fats 7 g, carbohydrates 7 g. CALORIES 97 Kcal/100 g.

the food in the first can is almost 4 times more caloric than the food in the second can, although the composition is approximately the same. taste very similar (and quite tasty).
so what is the dog buried in here????? maybe there is more oil in the first????

Once again, no need to talk about proteins and carbohydrates!!! I consider the question raised here as PART OF THE QUESTION of preparing a diet for a more or less long term, which includes stew, and cereals, and chocolate, and canned fish, and cereals, and VEGETABLES! I'm trying to create a balanced diet for two people. This is where proteins, fats and carbohydrates are taken into account. their ratio. and the ratio of animal and plant proteins too!!!
so THIS is just part of the diet that I add to my daily caloric intake

I'll probably have to conduct an inhumane experiment on myself. eat canned food from one manufacturer for three days, then after rest, eat canned food from another manufacturer for 3 days. select their quantity according to calorie content and look at the result))))

spgr 26-02-2010 11:33

1g protein or carbohydrates = 4.1Kcal, 1g fat = 9.3Kcal. You can count 4Kcal and 9Kcal, the error is only a couple of percent. That is:

"Zucchini caviar" proteins 1 g, fats 7 g, carbohydrates 7 g
1*4 + 7*9 +7*4 = 95Kcal/100g Since the values ​​were rounded, the result is slightly less, but it doesn’t change the essence, if you count accurately, it will be the same 97Kcal that is on the label.

"Eggplant caviar" N&M Bulgaria: proteins 2.23, fats 9.33, carbohydrates 9.6
2.23*4 + 9.33*9 + 9.6*4 = 131Kcal if you count accurately it will be 135Kcal.

It is not clear where the value 376 came from; there may be an error in translation from Bulgarian. It's a long time ago for 280g of product, not 100g. Perhaps the producers did something wrong during the translation. But you yourself correctly answered that the caloric content of caviar should not be so unrealistically high, it is not there, the real caloric content (which, in fact, the manufacturer indicated by publishing the fat, protein and carbohydrate content of about 135 Kcal per 100g.

S.W. 27-02-2010 09:38

spgr
thank you very much for your answer. Probably now all questions about the calorie content of foods are closed for me

Many people (especially representatives of the fair half of humanity) lead a healthy lifestyle and adhere to proper nutrition, which is a guarantee of excellent health. And proper nutrition implies not only foods that are healthy for the body, but also a balanced ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as well as the optimal amount of calories.

Nutritionists are sure that those who want to get rid of extra pounds should consume fewer calories than usual. Counting calories is not that difficult - the only inconvenience is that you need to calculate absolutely everything so as not to eat too much. For example, if you are going to eat Olivier or vinaigrette, you will have to calculate the energy value of all components, including the calorie content of peas (green, canned - it doesn’t really matter, the main thing is not to forget to count them). This is not always convenient, but over time it becomes a habit.

However, in our article we will not talk about methods of losing weight, but about such a tasty and, most importantly, healthy product as green peas, which contain not only a huge amount of vitamins, but also an interesting story.

Ancestral food

It is not known for certain how long people have been cultivating green peas, but scientists claim that our primitive ancestors used them. This is confirmed by the plates found by archaeologists with the remains of food made from peas, which are almost 10 thousand years old. It is believed that they began to plant peas as a crop about 3 thousand years ago, but then it was a kind of country garden beds, and not mass production.

Valuable delicacy

Indians, Chinese, Romans, and Indians loved pea dishes, but until the 16th century, this crop was considered a real delicacy and was incredibly expensive. in quantities sufficient for widespread trade began relatively recently - in the 16th century. The Dutch were the pioneers in this area of ​​agriculture. Despite its spread, peas remained inaccessible to ordinary people for a century. For those who had the opportunity to taste this product, peas were nothing more than a delicacy. And in those days no one even guessed that this legume could be pickled, frozen and canned...

A storehouse of vitamins

These days, green peas are also widely available, like bread or milk. Children (and adults) enjoy eating young green peas grown in a garden bed, and in supermarkets this product can be bought in dry, frozen and canned form. What does green peas contain? Our article will reveal its beneficial properties, contraindications, as well as a set of vitamins.

So, this product is rich in unique amino acids, enzymes, fiber, calcium salts, potassium, iron, chlorine and sulfur. By the way, the dietary fiber contained in peas perfectly stimulates intestinal activity, so those who suffer from cholecystitis or stomach ulcers should use it with caution and in small doses.

Green peas contain phosphorus, B vitamins, as well as A, PP and C. The protein contained in peas is similar in composition to meat. In addition, it helps maintain the cardiovascular system and normalizes blood pressure, and thanks to the optimal ratio of sodium and potassium, green peas are extremely useful for people with diabetes.

In addition, it contains a large number of trace elements - zinc, copper, iodine, manganese, boron, molybdenum, silicon, cobalt, strontium, selenium, aluminum, fluorine, nickel, titanium and even tin. Thus, green peas are recommended for people with anemia and iodine deficiency.

Peas and calories

Weight watchers will probably be interested to know how many calories are in peas (green, canned and dry). In fact, it is ideal for those who dream of a slim figure. By the way, the numbers speak for themselves: the calorie content of canned green peas is approximately 55 kcal per 100 grams, fresh (in pods) - from 40 to 73 kcal per 100 grams (depending on the variety), dry - 310 kcal.

Simple explanation

Why is there such a difference in numbers? It's simple! The fact is that fresh peas contain a lot of moisture - this is a natural product, while canning involves the addition of salt, sugar and other ingredients that also have energy value. Therefore, the calorie content of canned green peas is slightly higher than that of fresh ones, but not by much. Therefore, fans of a low-calorie diet can eat it at least every day without harm to their figure. The calorie content is too low to add extra pounds.

Dry peas completely lose moisture - due to this, their amount in 100 grams is much higher than the amount of fresh peas. For example, 15 fresh peas fit into one tablespoon. But if you dry it, it will lose moisture and shrink. As a result, not 15 dry peas will fit in the same tablespoon, but many times more! Hence, high puree soup (canned peas in which can perfectly replace dry ones) will solve the problem of those who are watching their figure and miss boiled peas. The main thing is to add the right spices and smoked meats...

Canned peas are one of the most popular canned vegetables, which are often used in cooking for preparing all kinds of dishes. It is used to cook soups, make various salads and seasonings, and is also used in its natural form as a simple side dish. Thanks to the rich complex of useful substances, the value of this product is undeniable. Nevertheless, experts are often interested in the calorie content of canned green peas. It is worth understanding this indicator in more detail.

Calorie content of peas

Peas are the oldest crop that humanity knew about back in the 4th century BC. Its fruits are a fairly valuable food product, containing a huge amount of vegetable protein. In addition, it contains many vitamins, minerals and various beneficial acids. The energy value of such a product is a little more than 80 kilocalories.

For a long time, the only way to harvest peas was drying. Later, people learned to preserve it.

The Dutch were the first to do this in the 16th century. Today, canned peas can be found in any grocery store.

Many people have a question: what is the difference between products that have undergone these types of processing? The most important difference is that the calorie content of canned green peas is several times lower than that of dried ones. There may be two reasons for this. Firstly, removing moisture increases the concentration of basic elements in it (fats, proteins and carbohydrates), which determine its energy value. By the way, the calorie content of dried peas is about 300 kilocalories. Secondly, exclusively young grains of special varieties are used for preservation. Moreover, their processing is carried out precisely when fresh fruits reach the so-called stage of milk maturity. Nevertheless, there are quite a lot of vitamins and sugars. The calorie content of canned green peas is only 55 kilocalories. This is much less than that of a natural or dried product.

Practical Application

For proper nutrition, as you know, it is necessary to take into account not only the quantity, compatibility, but also the nutritional value of each individual product. The low calorie content of canned green peas allows them to be used as a main component in various diets. This product is useful for those who care about their figure or want to lose weight. The fact is that you can safely eat the fruits of legumes without fear of gaining extra pounds.

In addition, peas help cleanse the body, removing unnecessary toxins and various harmful substances from it. By the way, the pea diet is the simplest. It does not contain a strict list of products indicating the amount of their consumption. It is necessary to include at least one dish made from peas in your menu every day. The main thing is that the remaining components in it are not high-calorie. By the way, this could be a few spoons of canned peas as a side dish. The main disadvantage of such a diet is the unpleasant side effects in the form of flatulence. But this problem is not so global.

Calorie calculation

Many people like canned green peas. The calorie content per 100 grams of the finished product is 53-55 kilocalories. And here we mean the edible part of it, excluding liquid. This is the number that is usually indicated on the labels. After all, peas are sold in containers of different sizes. The energy value of the entire package can be calculated independently by drawing up a simple proportion. But as a rule, this is not necessary. Most often, the caloric content of a unit of product is needed to calculate the energy value of the finished dish.

For example, to prepare an omelet with green peas you will need the following products:

2 eggs, 200 grams of canned peas, 50 milliliters of milk and 2 grams of table salt.

As a result of culinary processing, the finished omelet will have the following characteristics:

Having this calculation before your eyes, you can decide how much food to use to prepare a given dish so that its consumption does not have undesirable negative consequences.

Official standard

Since the times of the USSR, there has been a certain GOST for any food products produced in the country. “Canned green peas” is a product that meets certain requirements.

Until recently, GOST 15842-90 still existed for it. It represented the technical conditions for the production of food pea products for export and the needs of the national economy. This document detailed the following indicators:

  • characteristics of the raw materials used;
  • rules for packaging, labeling and acceptance of finished products;
  • description of testing methods for basic quality indicators;
  • conditions of transportation and storage.

After the collapse of the Union in Russia, many documents were revised. Over time, a new national standard of the Russian Federation was introduced: GOST R 54050-2010 entitled “Natural canned food. Green peas." Today, this document is the main one for determining the compliance of a given type of product with the standards established in the state.

Product benefits

It's no secret that it is proteins, fats and carbohydrates that are responsible for the calories in canned green peas. When they decay, energy is formed that is transferred to the body to maintain its vital functions. Despite the small value of this indicator, canned peas are considered a fairly healthy product.

For example, the selenium it contains is an excellent anticarcinogen, and vitamin PP has a positive effect on the human cardiovascular system. In addition, canned peas contain a lot of starch and dietary fiber, which are practically not digested. Due to these components, you can use peas to get rid of constipation and solve many other problems associated with digestion. Don't forget about fiber too. It not only removes harmful waste and toxins from the body. With its help, you can improve the functioning of the entire gastrointestinal tract, as well as normalize cholesterol levels. In addition, frequent consumption of such peas strengthens bone tissue and improves immunity. It also improves blood circulation, resulting in increased mental activity in a person. This is just a small part of the benefits that a seemingly simple and unremarkable product brings to the human body.

Possible harm

To properly plan your diet, you need to know not only how many calories are in canned green peas. It must be remembered that this product, like many others, has in addition to positive aspects also negative aspects. For example, it is strictly contraindicated for people prone to flatulence and suffering from colitis. This can not only create some discomfort, but also lead to quite serious consequences.

In addition, those who have been diagnosed with urolithiasis by doctors should avoid eating peas. Being a strong diuretic, this product can easily provoke spontaneous movement of sand and cause severe renal colic. In principle, canned peas can no longer threaten the human body. The danger will only arise if the product is stale.

It is also necessary to carefully study the composition of the product, which is usually indicated on the label. It is advisable that it does not contain any additives or preservatives that are harmful to health.

During many diets, green peas are a must-have product, because by consuming canned peas when losing weight, you help the body restore metabolism and cleanse the intestines of toxins and other harmful components. Check out popular diets in which this representative of the legume family is the main dish, find out in what cases it is not recommended to eat peas during the diet.

What are the benefits of canned green peas?

  • reduces cholesterol levels;
  • normalizes digestion;
  • strengthens the heart muscle;
  • improves the condition of blood vessels;
  • removes kidney stones;
  • helps with various liver diseases;
  • prevents the development of cancer;
  • prevents bleeding gums.

Compound

When choosing among a variety of cans, you should pay special attention to the composition of canned green peas. It is better to give preference to a product in a glass jar, made in accordance with GOST (after all, this guarantees quality), in which the list of ingredients contains only peas themselves, salt, water and sugar. Canned peas of any type do not require preservatives, so there shouldn't be any.

Vitamins and microelements

If the best peas of shelling varieties are used for seaming, then even after heat treatment their vitamin composition remains just as rich. What vitamins are in green peas? There are many useful substances that help with weight loss, even in canned fruits:
