What is a Pea?
Pea microgreens are the young, tender shoots of the pea plant, known for their slightly sweet, earthy flavour and high nutritional content. Despite their delicate appearance, they are a rich source of plant-based protein.
Pea is one of the 16 potent microgreens featured in our products. Each serving, just 1.5g, provides a highly concentrated source of nutrients, making it an easy and convenient way to meet your daily nutritional needs. Our microgreens also support good gut health with gut-friendly bacteria and fibre while helping to bolster immunity, improve energy levels, and reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.
How are Pea Microgreens Grown?
Pea microgreens are grown in shallow trays of nutrient-rich compost and require moderate light. They typically take 10-14 days to reach harvest size, making them one of the longer-growing microgreens but with a wide array of health benefits.
