How to Grow: Begin by soaking the Yellow Pea seeds in water for 8–12 hours. After soaking, drain the water and place the seeds in a sprouting jar, tray, or container with good drainage. Keep the container in a warm, well-lit area at a temperature between 65°F and 75°F. Rinse the seeds 2–3 times a day to keep them moist and encourage healthy growth.

Harvesting: Yellow Pea sprouts are ready to harvest when they are 1–2 inches tall, typically around 5–7 days after planting. They will have tender, vibrant green leaves and a crisp texture. To harvest, snip the sprouts just above the base using clean scissors. Rinse them gently with cool water and pat them dry before adding them to your favorite dishes.
