Substitutes for Cooked Peas in gelato

Cooked peas are boiled, drained green peas (Pisum sativum) used as a puree base for savory or novelty gelato and sorbetto. They contribute vegetable solids, protein and fiber with only modest natural sugar, so their freezing-point and sweetening impact is small. If you're out of cooked peas or need a different profile, these are the closest functional swaps — ranked by how similar they are on the balancing numbers, with the impact of each swap.
