Sweet and nutritious: Pea – Dun microgreens are a delicious, nutritious option for gardeners and chefs alike. These microgreens have a mild, sweet flavor similar to garden peas and are packed with vitamins A, C, and K, along with fiber and protein. With their delicate, tender leaves and vibrant green color, they add a refreshing, pea-like flavor to salads, sandwiches, and other dishes. Growing them is an easy way to enjoy fresh greens with a subtle sweetness and great nutritional value.

How to Grow: To grow Pea – Dun microgreens, start by spreading the seeds evenly over a shallow tray filled with a well-draining soil medium. Gently press the seeds into the soil and mist the surface lightly to ensure even moisture. Cover the tray with a lid or another tray to create a dark, humid environment for germination. Maintain a temperature between 55°F and 70°F, and mist daily to keep the soil moist but not soggy. After 3–5 days, remove the cover and place the tray in indirect sunlight or under grow lights for the seedlings to develop strong, healthy growth.

Harvesting: Harvest the Pea – Dun microgreens when they are around 1–2 inches tall, typically 7–14 days after planting. Look for vibrant green leaves and a fresh, sweet aroma. To harvest, use clean scissors to snip the microgreens just above the soil line. Rinse them gently with cool water, pat dry, and enjoy them in a variety of dishes, from salads to wraps, or even as a garnish to add a burst of sweetness and color to your meals.
