About these values
The record is frozen green peas, boiled and drained, without salt. The USDA record is "Peas, green, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt" (SR Legacy, FDC ID 170017). It gives 5.15 g of protein and 78 kcal per 100 g.
Protein in a portion is its weight times the protein per 100 g, divided by 100. For half a cup of green peas: 80 × 5.15 ÷ 100 = 4.1 g. Values on this page are rounded to 0.1 g.
A packaged food's own label can differ from the USDA average. When you have the label, its numbers are the ones for that product.
