Packed with vibrant flavor and powerful nutrition, our Pea Shoot Microgreens are the tender, young growth of the pea plant, harvested at their peak to lock in maximum freshness and nutrients. These delicate greens offer a delightful culinary experience, combining a crisp texture with a sweet, classic pea taste.
Flavor Profile & Texture
Enjoy a taste that is fresh, mild, and subtly sweet, reminiscent of young snap peas straight from the garden. Their texture is a satisfying blend of crisp stalks and tender leaves with charming, wispy tendrils, adding a unique visual appeal and a pleasant crunch to any dish.
Key Health Benefits
Pea shoot microgreens are a nutritional powerhouse, often containing more concentrated vitamins and minerals than their mature counterparts. They are an excellent source of:
- Vitamins A, C, and K: Essential for immune function, vision, and bone health.
- Protein & Fiber: Supporting muscle repair, digestion, and promoting satiety.
- Antioxidants: Helping to protect cells from damage and reduce inflammation in the body.
- Essential Minerals: Including iron, folate, calcium, and potassium.
Culinary Uses
Incredibly versatile, these microgreens can be used to elevate everyday meals into gourmet creations:
- Fresh Salads: Use them as a flavorful base or a refreshing addition to your favorite salad.
- Sandwiches & Wraps: Add a crisp, nutritious layer to sandwiches, avocado toast, or spring rolls.
- Garnish: Their elegant appearance makes them a perfect garnish for soups, stews, and plated entrées.
- Lightly Cooked Dishes: Gently wilt them in stir-fries, omelets, or warm pasta dishes (add at the very end to maintain their delicate flavor and nutrients).
Storage & Care
To ensure optimal freshness, store your pea shoot microgreens in the refrigerator and avoid washing them until you are ready to use them. Rinse only the portion you plan to consume immediately. Stored properly in an airtight container, they can last for up to 10-14 days.
