Green peas
Also called: matar, erbsen, garden peas
Light and astringent, cooling for Pitta and drying for Kapha.
How Green peas affects your doshas
In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
| Dosha | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vata | Use sparingly | Can raise Vata — go easy when Vata runs high. |
| Pitta | Balancing | Calms Pitta — favour it when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Balancing | Calms Kapha — favour it when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
Dry and gas-forming, as legumes tend to be — unsettling for Vata.
