Sweet and crunchy: Green Pea sprouts are a delicious and nutritious option for any sprouting enthusiast. Known for their crisp texture and slightly sweet, fresh flavor, they are a great addition to a variety of dishes such as salads, wraps, and sandwiches. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber, Green Pea sprouts offer an excellent source of plant-based protein and are rich in antioxidants, making them a healthful choice for enhancing your meals. With just a few days of care, you can enjoy these fresh, vibrant sprouts.

How to Grow: To grow Green Pea sprouts, begin by soaking the seeds in water for 8–12 hours to activate the germination process. After soaking, drain the water and place the seeds in a sprouting jar, tray, or container with adequate drainage. Keep the container in a warm, well-ventilated area with temperatures between 65°F and 75°F. Rinse the seeds 2–3 times a day to keep them moist, and within 5–7 days, you’ll see them sprout and grow into fresh, crisp pea shoots.

Harvesting: Green Pea sprouts are typically ready for harvest in 5–7 days when they are 1–2 inches tall. At this stage, they should have tender, light green leaves with a fresh, crisp appearance. To harvest, gently snip the sprouts just above the base using clean scissors. Rinse the sprouts with cool water and pat them dry before adding them to your favorite dishes. Green Pea sprouts are perfect in salads, sandwiches, or as a garnish for soups and wraps. They can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days if needed.
