The legume, Green pea (Pisum sativum) is usually consumed as a vegetable. Phytochemical screening of its methanol extract showed that it contains terpenoids, resins, cardiac glycosides, steroids, saponins, phenols and flavonoids. Quantitative phytochemical estimation in (20/mg) revealed that it contains Saponins 13.4±0.11, Flavonoids 10.4±0.089, Phenols 9.8±0.063 and steroids 7.2±0.075. DPPH radical scavenging activities of methanol extract of green pea was expressed as the percentage inhibition of DPPH at varying concentrations of the extract. It was found to be proportional to the concentration of the plant extract; at 5 mg/ml (57.1%), 2 mg/ml (41.7%), 1 mg/ml (31%), 0.5 mg/ml (26.4%), 0.1 mg/ml (21.3%), and 0.05 mg/ml (16.9%). Thus, Pisum sativum, is a herb with some nutritional and pharmacologically important secondary metabolites with potent antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-lipidemic and growth enhancement effects.
