ABOUT
Speckled Pea is one of the most satisfying crops in the microgreens world: thick, jade-green stems push upward with impressive confidence, topped by soft compound leaves and the most charming little curling tendrils you will ever see on a tray. Bite into a stem and you get an immediate burst of sweet, fresh garden-pea juice — clean, bright and unmistakably spring-like, with a satisfying crunch that holds up in warm dishes too. Scatter a generous handful over a bowl of miso broth, fold into a spring risotto at the last moment, or simply pile onto sourdough with ricotta and lemon zest for an effortless starter. Speckled Pea is the variety that makes new growers fall in love with microgreens — and keeps experienced growers coming back tray after tray.
