    Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin. Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting. Folate contributes to normal blood formation.

    A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.

    ABOUT

    Affila is a semi-leafless pea. In this type most of the leaflets grow as tendrils instead, so each shoot carries a cluster of branched, curly tendrils rather than a full set of leaves. On the plate the tendrils add height and movement, which is why Affila is so popular as a garnish.

    The taste is what you expect from fresh garden peas: sweet, juicy and clean, with crisp stems and tendrils that stay tender while the shoots are young. As they age, the lower stems turn fibrous, so harvest within the 10–14 day window.

    Pea seeds are large and need a long soak, a firm bed and a weighted cover. The weight presses the seeds into the soil while the roots take hold and keeps the shoots straight. Within the 250–300 g range, a lower rate leaves more air between the stems and helps prevent mould; a higher one gives a denser tray.

    IN THE KITCHEN

    Use Affila shoots raw and whole, so the tendrils keep their shape: on a beetroot salad, next to smoked salmon, on risotto and spring starters, or folded into warm pasta just before serving. Keep them dry in a closed box in the fridge and use them within about a week.

    GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
    1 Soak 250 g of seed (250–300 g) in plenty of cool water for 8–12 hours; 6 hours is enough if you are short of time. Drain them well: pea seeds left standing in water start to rot.
    2 Fill a 25 × 50 cm tray with 3–4 cm of moist potting soil or coco coir and press it firm and level. Spread the soaked seeds in a single, dense layer, touching but not stacked, and press them gently into the surface.
    3 Cover with a second tray and put a weight of a few kilograms on top. Keep the tray in the dark at 18–22 °C for 3–5 days and check daily that the medium stays moist.
    4 When the pale shoots push up against the cover, remove it and move the tray under a grow light or to a bright window. Water from below once or twice a day and give the tray airflow to prevent mould.
    5 Harvest 10–14 days after sowing, when the tendrils have formed and before the lower stems get tough. Stop watering about 12 hours before and cut just above the soil with sharp scissors or a knife.
