Pea microgreens are thick, crunchy shoots with a fresh, sweet taste — just like raw peas, but in leafy form. These microgreens are harvested young, around 8 to 12 days after sowing, and grow tall, vibrant green stems with delicate tendrils that add both flavor and beauty to your dishes.

Easy to grow indoors or on balconies, pea microgreens thrive in shallow trays filled with moist cocopeat or compost. They require very little care and no direct sun, making them perfect for beginners and anyone looking to grow nutrient-rich, sweet greens at home.

Growing Pea Microgreens

Prepare the Tray

• Use a shallow tray (1.5–2 inch depth) with drainage
• Fill with moist cocopeat or fine compost, level the surface

Soak & Sow

• Soak seeds for 6–8 hours to soften
• Spread in a dense, even layer without burying
• Mist and cover with a tray or newspaper for 2–3 days

Light & Care

• Move to indirect light once sprouts appear
• Mist once or twice daily — just enough to keep the top layer damp
• Watch for tall, upright growth with curly green tips

Harvest

• Harvest when shoots reach 3–5 inches tall, usually around day 8–12
• Cut just above the root zone using clean scissors
• Use immediately — they’re best eaten fresh

For optimal growth, try with our Cocopeat or enrich with Vermicompost for stronger shoots.
