Microgreens – Pea Shoots have a nutty, distinct and delicious flavour and are high in vitamins A, B, C and E. They are very easy to grow and are rich in calcium, chlorophyll, beta carotene and folic acid. Not only that but pea shoots will also add iron, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus and potassium to your diet.
They also look great on your salads and their tendrils can enhance a simple dish.
