Our Verdict
When comparing okra to peas, we picked the peas.
Why?
Both are great, but…
In terms of macros, peas have nearly 2x the fiber, 2x the carbs, and 3x the protein, winning this round.
In the category of vitamins, okra has more of vitmains B5, B6, E, and K, while peas have more of vitamins A, B1, B3, B3, B7, B9, C, and choline, winning another round.
Looking at minerals, okra has more calcium, magnesium, manganese, and potassium, while peas have more copper, iron, phosphorus, selenium, and zinc, for a marginal victory in the third round.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for peas, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is good!
