The roots need room to burrow and anchor themselves as the shoots push upward, though it is possible to grow them hydroponically with the right setup and extra attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoak seeds in cold water for 8 to 12 hours before planting. Use a large bowl with plenty of water, since peas absorb a surprising amount as they soak. Seeds can be planted directly after soaking, but transferring them to a colander for another day or two, rinsing and draining 2 to 4 times a day, helps encourage even germination before the seedlings begin to peek out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpread the soaked seeds thickly and evenly over prepared soil, then tamp gently to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Mist thoroughly twice a day, and keep the tray covered with a blackout or humidity dome for 2 to 3 more days before exposing it to light. Once uncovered, water once a day so the soil stays damp without becoming soggy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Pea Shoots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePea shoots are ready to harvest once they reach about 3 to 4 inches tall, usually with a set of true leaves and tendrils beginning to form. Use scissors or a sharp knife to cut the shoots just above the soil line, taking care not to disturb the root mass below. Harvest in the morning when moisture content is highest for the crispest texture, and use shoots soon after cutting for the best flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing Pea Shoots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePea shoots have a fresh, sweet flavor reminiscent of snap peas, with a satisfying crisp crunch that holds up well in both raw and lightly cooked dishes. Toss them into salads, layer them onto sandwiches and wraps, or use them as a garnish for soups and grain bowls. They also hold their texture nicely in a quick stir-fry or light sauté, making them a versatile addition beyond just fresh eating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTips From Our Gardeners\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGive seeds a quick rinse before soaking, and change the soak water once if you're growing in a warm room. Peas release starches as they soak, and fresh water partway through helps prevent the surface film and off smells that can lead to mold once the seeds are spread on soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 20.7517%;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" height=\"89\" width=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2016\/2681\/files\/jerry-sawyer-compressed.jpg?v=1653940293\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75.2483%;\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e- Jerry Sawyer, True Leaf Market Writer\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOther Microgreen Resources:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2016\/2681\/files\/TLM_MR_Speckled_Peas_Trial_1.pdf?v=1786118547\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeckled Pea \u0026amp; MicroRevive Microgreens Trial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProGrade Speckled Pea Seeds Per Package:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 lb - Approximately 11,500 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 lb - Approximately 57,600 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c!--split--\u003e\n","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":50462178672877,"sku":"84240","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"25 lb","offer_id":50462178705645,"sku":"84241","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/6048\/0493\/files\/1785631327_microgreen_pea_speckled_pro_grade_peas_human_in_hat_holding_5014858_lot_226296_97f7f9f3-cc03-44fe-b613-1e849d281ba8.jpg?v=1786473854","url":"https:\/\/tlmwholesale.com\/products\/pea-speckled-prograde-microgreens-seeds","provider":"True Leaf Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
