Growing Instructions
How to Grow Pea Shoots
- Soak a cup of Pea Shoot Seeds in cold water for 8-12 hours.
- Drain and spread evenly on a growing tray filled with any growing medium such as organic soil or coir discs.
- Mist the growing medium with water to keep it moist.
- Place tray in a location with indirect sunlight.
- Water daily to keep the growing medium moist but not waterlogged.
- Harvest in 7-14 days when shoots are 2-4 inches tall.
Tip: Pea shoots like cooler temperatures, so avoid direct sunlight. For better taste and texture, harvest before they grow too tall.
How to Grow Pea Sprouts
- Soak the Seeds: Begin by soaking a cup of Pea Shoot Seeds in cold water for 8-12 hours to activate the germination process.
- Drain and Rinse: After soaking, drain the water using a mesh sieve or sprouting lid. Rinse the seeds thoroughly with cold water.
- Place in Sprouting Jar: Transfer the rinsed seeds to a sprouting jar, covering the top with a sprouting screen or mesh fabric.
- Initial Placement: Place the jar in a cool, dark location, such as a kitchen cupboard, for the first 24 hours.
- Regular Rinsing: Rinse the seeds 2-3 times per day with cold water. After rinsing, make sure to drain all excess water.
- Check Progress: Start checking for sprouts after 2 days. The sprouts are ready to harvest usually between 2-5 days, depending on your preference for sprout size.
- Harvest: Once ready, remove sprouts from the jar and give them a final rinse. Drain thoroughly.
- Enjoy: Your pea sprouts are now ready to eat or store. If storing, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate.
These seeds yield approximately 2:1, meaning you’ll get about 2 cups of sprouts for every cup of seeds.
