PEA SHOOT

Price Per Tub - See SKU code for origin

Pea shoots are the tender young growing tips of pea plants, comprising the shoots and the thin twining tendrils. Growing peas for shoots is different to growing actual peas: pea shoots take up very little space and are ready to harvest in two to three weeks, while pea pods take around three months to develop.

Pea shoots are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, E and A, and potassium. Glycosylated quercetin derivatives were the main flavonoid compounds of pea shoots. The nutritional value was generally stable during storage.
