Microgreens
Pea Shoots
Healthy Meals
Pea shoots are the perfect addition to any diet! These delicate microgreens are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and Vitamin K. Not only do they add a pop of color and flavor to any dish, but they also contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that can help boost your immune system and fight off disease.
Pea shoots are also a great source of protein and iron, making them a great option for vegetarians and vegans. They can be eaten raw in salads, sandwiches, and wraps or lightly sautéed as a side dish. They are also a great topping for pizzas, soups and pasta.
