(Are wasabi peas good for you - Yahoo) Are wasabi peas good for you? I have just become addicted to wasabi peas.. and im not sure just how good they are for me.. I mean surely they cant be that unhealthy right? Yes & No. 1) The dried peas will give you some fibre - if you eat heaps you may get more than you expect! 2) The peas will have some nutrition - and calories - watch you don't get fat by consuming too many calories! 3) Wasabi is used in Sushi as a digestive - it contains enzymes that help digest protein - might be a good idea if you do have some protein with them! Too much of anything might cause you problems. "Everything in moderation except moderation itself!" 8 months ago SOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo who the heck knows?
C1BandedBabe Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Posted June 18, 2008 Ok Paula thats it! No more Wasabi peas for me then.. thanks
Will T Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 shucks... c1banded had me all hyper... last time she started a topic she was all fired up over girdles. I thought her new addiction was trying on skimpy little outfits or something. wasabi pea?? I thought that's what wasabi did after long night at bar.
Jann Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 And I cant stop eating them! Wasabi Peas! They are sooo good! Can some one come and take them away from me please. But they have 5 grams of protein in them for 1/2 cup! They totally rock! My best bud brought me back a huge tupperware of them from Utah. I ate them until I thought I could never eat them again. Now, they sound good again! hehe
C1BandedBabe Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Posted June 18, 2008 Haahah WillT sorry to disappoint you! LMAO! Maybe that will become my new addiction though in the future!! I can not buy anymore Wasabi peas for real, cuz I lose all control when I have those little boogers around!

If I was wasabi, I would have PEED myself from laughing at your corniness.. clever corniness..
Kim2BSlim Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 I have never heard of them..where the heck did you find Wasabi peas in South Mississippi?? LOL
C1BandedBabe Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Posted June 19, 2008 Kim isn't it funny that we live in the same area! I was thinking about you this morning when I was getting ready for work.. How it is such a small world! You can get them in Wal-Mart actually in the international food isle. They are great! You can get the really big can from the Asian Food store right here in Ocean Springs on Hwy 90 by Arby’s... You should try them but after that, have someone hide them from you.. LOL!
my_friend_amber Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 I have never heard of a wasabi pea before now, but I'm thinking I should look into them...or maybe I should stay the heck away so that I don't find out that I like them and then have to wean myself off!!
C1BandedBabe Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Posted June 19, 2008 If you eat Wasabi with your sushi you will love these peas!
Kim2BSlim Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 I know Trina..I think it is cool too. We have to set a lunch date soon. (or you will be on liquids, so a liquid date!)
C1BandedBabe Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Posted June 19, 2008 I know that would be wonderful Kim! I would love to do that.. I am having a fun party on the 19th, and that will be my first day of solids, Im excited! You should come if you get a chance...
momonamission Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 The reason I got the band was so I could live a normal life. With by-pass you are limited on everything and can not eat so many different things. My suggestion is ...if we want the peas (and we do) ....buy them and measure them into zip lock bags so we only have one serving. One serving does not look to bad. A little fiber, al little protien, and a little fat. I am still on liquids so I might would eat the bag it came in too. But, after the liquids....I hope to have gained some selfcontol. Dawn
C1BandedBabe Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Posted June 19, 2008 Dawn you are absolutely right. Have anything you want, just in moderation right! I am afraid I will be having my hubby send me home some Wasabi peas since he is in Japan....lol..... why not!
Kim2BSlim Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Yes, we will meet up soon! Do you still have my number?

Dawn No snacking, though.. you would have to include them as the veggie or protein in a meal.
