First, let's take a look at the macros. Each of these are listed in grams and as usual, normalized to 200 calories for easy comparison, so we're always comparing apples to apples.
| Peas | Pinto beans |
| Nutrient | peas | pinto beans |
| Protein | 14g | 12g |
| Carbohydrate | 36g | 36g |

| Monounsat. Fat | 0g | 1g |
| Polyunsat. Fat | 0g | 0g |
| Saturated Fat | 0g | 0g |
Next, let's take a look at the Vitamin density. These values are shown in units of percent of recommended daily intake. And since we're showing 200 calories worth, this means anything above 10% is good.
| Nutrient | peas | pinto beans |
| Choline | 13% | 9% |
| Vitamin A | 0% | 0% |
| Vitamin C | 1% | 5% |
| Vitamin E | 0% | 1% |
| Vitamin K | 11% | 4% |

And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
| Nutrient | peas | pinto beans |
| Vitamin B1 | 32% | 41% |
| Vitamin B2 | 9% | 11% |
| Vitamin B3 | 13% | 6% |
| Vitamin B5 | 20% | 9% |
| Vitamin B6 | 7% | 25% |
| Vitamin B12 | 0% | 0% |
Now, lets look at mineral density. Here we have a lot of important electrolytes and minerals. Once again, units are in percent of RDI, thus for this 200 calorie serving anything above 10% would considered high.
| Nutrient | peas | pinto beans |
| Sodium | 0% | 0% |
| Potasium | 18% | 23% |
