Pea microgreens Calories

Add pea microgreens to salads, sandwiches, wraps, or bowls, or scatter them over soup just before serving. Their delicate texture wilts quickly, so use them raw or add them to hot dishes at the end.

Use seeds sold for sprouting or microgreens, sow them densely over moist growing medium, and keep the tray in a bright spot with good airflow. Keep the medium moist, not waterlogged, and harvest the shoots once their first leaves open.

No. Pea microgreens grow in a medium with light and are cut above it for eating. Pea sprouts are germinated seeds, usually grown without soil, and are commonly eaten with the seed attached.

Yes, pea microgreens are commonly eaten raw. Rinse them gently under clean running water and drain them well before eating; discard any that smell unpleasant or look slimy or moldy.

Keep pea microgreens refrigerated in a clean, closed container, with excess moisture absorbed by a dry paper towel. Wash them just before use, since storing them wet can make them spoil faster.

Yes, pea microgreens provide vitamin C, vitamin K, and plant protein in a tender fresh green. They are an easy way to add variety to a meal, but they are not a treatment or cure for illness.

Sometimes pea microgreens produce a second flush after cutting, but regrowth is often thinner than the first harvest. Leave the growing point intact when harvesting; if the tray becomes sparse, sowing a fresh batch is usually more reliable.

Pea microgreens are generally ready to harvest in about one to two weeks, though temperature, light, and seed variety affect timing. Cut them when the shoots are tender and their first leaves have opened.

Yes, but pea microgreens cook very quickly and lose their crisp texture if heated for long. Stir them into a hot dish just before serving, or use them as a fresh topping.
