Pea sprouts are one of our favourite ‘beanie’ sprouts. They taste much like fresh peas, juicy and sweet. We like to snack on them raw. They are a lovely vibrant green and add a great colour and crunch to dishes. We use them as an alternative to Chickpeas or Mung in cooked dishes like tomato sauce and courgetti. 

To help you realise how good an idea it is to munch on pea microgreens, let’s take a look at the health benefits.

• Anti-Inflammatory

There are many antioxidants and phytonutrients inside pea microgreens. These can help to support your immune system and actually reduce inflammation!

You’ll find plenty of vitamins C, D, K, and even A; ensuring your immune system and other body functions are working at peak efficiency.

• Regulate Blood Sugars

Pea microgreens have an array of nutrients that have been shown to help reduce blood sugar levels. This makes them a valuable addition to any diet, especially if you’re trying to prevent diabetes or are dealing with the effects of this disease.

• Cardiovascular Improvement

The same antioxidants that boost the immune system and help to reduce inflammation in your body can actually improve your cardiovascular health.

Science is not yet clear on exactly how the two are linked but there is a definite connection that can help to protect you against heart disease.
