Abstract
Pisum sativum is a common fruit which can be consumed in raw form as well as cooked or frozen form. The health concern of humankind is increasing day by day and this leads to the necessity of discovering novel and healthy methods to keep one disease free. This research shows the various compounds present in pea pod as well as pea grain. The presence of bioactive compounds in pea pod is equal to that present in pea cotyledon which indicates that pea pod can also be consumed. Chromatography technique was carried out in the analysis of Pisum sativum. The results demonstrate that pea pod and pea cotyledon contain almost equal amounts of antioxidants, indicating that pea pods can also be consumed.
