Collection: Peas & Shoots

The Shoots collection is dedicated to seeds that grow into robust, flavorful shoots - typically harvested a bit later than microgreens to enjoy a more substantial stem and leaf. Chief among these are Pea Shoots and Sunflower Shoots, which have become incredibly popular in salads, stir-fries, and as crunchy garnishes. In this collection you'll find premium pea varieties (such as green pea and speckled pea) bred for tender shoots, and sunflower (black oil) seeds that yield hearty, nutty-tasting sprouts. Shoots are a favorite for both urban farmers and professional chefs because they add great volume and texture. For home growers, these seeds are very rewarding - pea and sunflower shoots are easy to grow in trays, and you can get a thick forest of shoots in 10-12 days with minimal effort. They are also forgiving: peas, for example, will germinate even in basic conditions and don't require special lighting to develop their succulent pale-green leaves. Chefs appreciate that shoots have a longer shelf-life after harvest compared to delicate microgreens, making them practical for restaurant supply. We also include other specialty shoots in this category, like Popcorn Shoots (yellow, sweet corn shoots grown in darkness for a unique sweet taste) or Buckwheat Lettuce (tender pinkish stems with tangy leaves) for the adventurous growers.

Expect vibrant yields: for instance, sunflower shoots are rich in protein and have a satisfying crunch, often used as a base for microgreen salads. All seeds in the Shoots collection are high viability and often available in bulk packs (since many commercial microgreen growers buy pea and sunflower in bulk for their operations). With these seeds, you can cultivate a dense tray of shoots that will elevate the crunch and nutrition of any dish, whether you're topping a soup at home or supplying a local café with fresh greens.
