Nutrition
Pea microgreens are a source of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K and folate.*
Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Folate contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.

ABOUT
Green pea is the classic pea shoot: thick, juicy stems, broad leaves and a few curling tendrils at the tips. It tastes like peas shelled straight from the pod, sweet and crisp, which makes it an easy microgreen to like.
Peas grow differently from most microgreens. Broccoli, radish or sunflower lift their seed leaves out of the soil, but a pea keeps them underground inside the seed and sends up a shoot with true leaves straight away. So with pea shoots you eat the stem, leaves and tendrils, while the large seed keeps feeding the shoot as it grows.
Why 250 g per tray? Pea seeds vary in size, from about 4 to 6 seeds per gram, so the sowing rate is a range. 200 g gives a lighter tray with more air between the stems, 300 g a denser, heavier one. 250 g is a good place to start.
IN THE KITCHEN
Pea shoots are best raw or barely warmed. Toss them into spring salads, pile them on avocado toast or into sandwiches, or add them to a stir-fry or noodle soup for the last few seconds of cooking. Keep them dry in a closed box in the fridge and use them within about a week.
