Wonderful, I go out to my garden and graze on these. You may get a little gas but that will pass !

Not to worry.......Peas can be eaten raw or cooked, which sweetens them slightly. Peas are eaten on their own as a vegetable dish or added to other vegetables, salads, stir-fries, savory dishes, soups, and stews. Peas can be used as a substitution in most recipes that call for green beans.

Many kinds of peas can be eaten raw in fact the snow pea is one of them. Good question!

I eat cold peas out of the can at work all the time. If my stomach rumbles, I take an antacid, and all is right with the world. Don't worry about it.

LOL...you have nothing to worry about - he's just bugging you. I grew up on a farm, and as kids we used to eat tonnes of raw peas straight from the plants - you'll be just fine.

don't worry. it will be o.k. u take some medication to overcome the indigestion. . there's is always a solution to a problem. ask ur boyfriend to help if he is so concerned. eat boiled food from now onwards 'coz some raw foods can't be digested by our body. but u r o.k. anyways.

if its the first time you have eaten them raw your stomach might protest ,but there is no other side effect other than maybe having to go to the bathroom if you know what I mean.
