Pea Microgreens
Pea Microgreens
Micro Pea Greens are best used fresh as an edible garnish or subtle flavoring. The delicate greens can be sprinkled over soups, mixed into salads, selectively placed on main dishes, appetizers, and some desserts to enhance the visual appeal, or used as a fresh flavor over roasted vegetables, potatoes, and pasta. Micro Pea Greens can also be sprinkled on vegetable pizza, layered into sandwiches, used as a bed of greens under grilled meats, or blended into a bright pesto. Pea greens are traditionally used in Asian cuisine and are a favored flavoring in stir-fries. The greens are also popularly dressed in light sauces as a side dish. Micro Pea Greens pair well with cheeses such as goat, feta, parmesan, and pecorino, aromatics such as garlic, ginger, leeks, and shallots, fava beans, asparagus, mushrooms, radishes, citrus, eggs, seafood, and poultry. Micro Pea Greens will generally keep up to 10-14 days when stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
A single cup of pea microgreens can provide 50% of an adult’s recommended daily Vitamin C allowance. This essential vitamin can help to protect an immune system that is depleted from stress, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or obesity.
