Legumes and dishes from them are very popular among adults, because they contain many useful substances, they are quite nutritious and tasty. Among all legumes, peas are in particular demand, and the most common dish of such legumes is soup.

Despite the fact that green peas are recommended to enter into the children's menu together with other vegetables in 7-8 months, its quantity in relation to the whole volume of the vegetable dish should not exceed 1/3.

Only over the age of one year can one treat a child with legumes in which they are the main ingredient. These dishes include the soup and the young peas.

As for peeled dry peas, one should not hurry with its introduction into the diet of children and making soup from it.

This leads to bloating, abdominal pain, impaired stool. It is best to postpone acquaintance with peas until the age of 3 years, carefully watching the reaction of the baby's digestive tract to this product.
