Pisum sativum

• Pea microgreens are young pea plants, grown in soil and harvested within just a couple of weeks of planting when their true leaves have grown in, and their stems and leaves are eaten.
• Pea shoot microgreens picked at the later stages – when their tendrils have developed – are known as pea shoots.
• Just one cup can provide a whopping 50% of your recommended daily amount of vitamin C, along with iron, calcium, vitamin K, and vitamin A.
• They also contain some protein and are a good source of fibre, supporting your digestive system and helping you feel full for longer.
• These versatile greens add a pretty touch to a fine dining meal or a delicious topping to a healthy, plant-based meal.
• Pea shoots are popular for smoothies, salads, stir-fries, and garnishes.
