Why Pea Shoots Hit Above Their Weight
7x
Vitamin C density vs the same weight of mature peas
High K1
Vitamin K1 supports blood-clotting and bone-density pathways
Sweet
The most kid-friendly variety we sell. Sweetness from natural plant sugars, not added.
Pea shoots are the gateway microgreen for households who think they do not like greens. The flavor is naturally sweet, the texture is tender, and the visual appeal of a bright-green tendril makes it the easiest variety to introduce to picky eaters. We watch families convert kids on this one variety alone every market season.
Underneath the easy flavor sits real nutrient density. Pea shoots carry roughly 7 times the vitamin C of mature peas, plus a meaningful dose of vitamin K1, folate, and plant-source iron. They are also one of the better plant sources of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), the same compounds protein-supplement marketing has built an entire category around.
Use them raw. Cooking destroys the vitamin C, browns the chlorophyll, and removes the reason to bother with a microgreen in the first place. Toss them on top of a finished dish at the table. Pea shoots in your weekly tray β

Should I eat pea shoots once tendrils start growing on the side shoots?
No. Once curling tendrils develop on the side shoots, the pea plant has matured past the tender microgreen stage and the stems become fibrous and harder to digest. Eat your sweet pea shoots while the tendrils are still small and the stems are tender, or harvest before the tendrils take over to keep that sweet, crunchy texture. Need a fresh batch?
