Pea Microgreens Seeds

Pea microgreens seeds develop into sweet shoots with robust, fresh flavor, much like young garden peas. These seeds are adapted for indoor gardening. All it takes to grow them at home is moist soil in a shallow tray and sufficient lighting. Microgreens are harvested in a short time, and are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as essential amino acids and fiber. They’re a nutritious topping for salads and other foods.

INTRODUCING PEA MICROGREENS SEEDS

Pea microgreens, young seedlings of the pea plant, possess the nutritional benefits of mature peas, including significant amounts of protein. They are especially popular with vegetarians. This is a good way to include plant-based protein, with harvesting starting soon after the first true leaves develop. Growing these microgreens is an easy way to have some fun growing new things and to add to a more healthy diet.

HOW TO GROW PEA MICROGREENS

Soak pea microgreen seeds in water for 12-24 hours. Spread them thickly over 1/2-1 inch of moist potting mix in a well-draining shallow container, about 5 inches by 5 inches in size. Press seeds in firmly. Mist them with water and cover the top to retain moisture and block out any light. Place the covered container in a completely dark space. Keep covered and in darkness for 3-5 days. Mist as needed to retain moisture. When there is a few inches of growth, or when the microgreens begin to lift the cover, expose them to direct light. Harvest with scissors in 8-12 days.

MAINTAINING PEA MICROGREENS

Pea microgreens grow slightly slower than other microgreens. They need regular misting with water throughout their growth process, with adequate lighting from grow lights or the sun after they sprout. Harvest pea microgreens when they reach about 3 to 4 inches, just above the soil line. These shoots are exceptionally crunchy and sweet. Consume them right after harvest, for optimum pea microgreens nutrition.

Grow pea microgreens at home and experience the tasty treat they provide. Microgreens are the perfect choice for anyone lacking garden space, for cultivation throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
