Pea Shoots Microgreens – Sweet, Crisp & Naturally Energising
Pea shoots microgreens are among the most popular and nutrient-rich varieties we grow at Cornish Greens. With their vibrant green colour, curly tendrils, and fresh sweet flavour, they offer a delightful crunch that elevates any meal. Whether you’re tossing them into a salad, blending them into a smoothie, or topping off a sandwich or stir-fry, these versatile microgreens deliver both taste and nutrition in every bite.
What Are Pea Shoots Microgreens?
Pea shoots microgreens are the tender young growth of the pea plant, typically harvested within 10 to 14 days of germination. Unlike mature pea plants, microgreens offer a concentrated source of flavour and nutrients while maintaining a delicate texture that makes them incredibly easy to use in everyday meals. Because they’re harvested early, they’re more nutrient-dense than their mature counterparts.
Why Choose Cornish Greens Pea Shoots?
At Cornish Greens, we grow all our microgreens locally in Bude, Cornwall, using sustainable, soil-free methods. Our pea shoots microgreens are cultivated with Ecothrive Coco Lite as the growing medium, full-spectrum LED lighting, and filtered water – no pesticides, no synthetic fertilisers, and no compromise on freshness or flavour.
We sow, grow, and harvest fresh to order, ensuring you receive the crispiest, most vibrant microgreens every time. Every tray is grown with care by our small, passionate team and delivered in eco-friendly packaging designed to keep your greens fresh and crisp for as long as possible.
Nutrition Benefits of Pea Shoots
Pea shoots are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate, fibre, iron, and plant-based protein. They’re especially valued for their high antioxidant content, which supports immunity, reduces inflammation, and promotes healthy skin and bones.
According to the BBC Good Food guide and the NHS 5-a-day advice, leafy microgreens like pea shoots are a smart way to boost your nutrient intake without adding many calories. They’re ideal for health-conscious families, athletes, vegetarians, and anyone looking to eat fresh and clean.
How to Use Pea Shoots Microgreens
Pea shoots have a natural sweetness and a crisp, refreshing bite. They’re ideal for a wide range of meals:

- Stir-Fries: Toss them in at the end for colour and nutrients.

Storage & Shelf Life
Pea shoots microgreens are best kept in the fridge, ideally in a sealed container lined with a piece of dry kitchen towel to absorb excess moisture. When stored correctly, they stay fresh and crisp for 5–7 days. Avoid letting them sit in condensation, as that can cause wilting.
