This week’s deep dive is going to be on our Pea Shoots You are likely familiar with peas, but have you heard of pea microgreens? These nutrient dense plants can help to promote overall health, ward off disease, and may also help prevent cancer. With a sweet subtle pea flavor they are a great addition to many dishes. Research has shown a cup of pea microgreens can provide approximately half of an adults daily vitamin C intake. Vitamin C is known to reduce the risk of infecti...on, common colds and even strokes. There is a staggering 30% of the world that is iron deficient. This can lead to tiredness, pale skin and overall low energy. A single cup serving of pea sprouts offers 10% of the recommended daily allowance of iron. These microgreens are one of the many jack of all trades among the microgreens. This single cup of pea shoots can provide 2 grams of protein, which is about a third of an egg. Protein is the building block of the body and vital to keep your intakes at a good level. Many vegetarians and vegans struggle to intake the proper amount of protein and this a simple flavourful solution. Pea microgreens are best consumed naturally, which would make a perfect pair with a salad, wrap and sandwiches, but can also be added into stir frys, smoothies and omelettes. #microgreens #microgreenfarmer #urbanfarmer #urbanfarming #hydroponics #growyourown #gardening #plantsmakepeoplehappy #smallfarm #indoorfarming #farmersmarket #smallbusiness
