New Natives
Organic Pea Shoots
Product Details
Very young green pea shoots with a fresh pea flavor for salads, wraps, quick stir fry, or wilting with hot water. Eat fresh in salads for that fresh pea flavor all year. Great crunch in a fresh spring roll. For an Asian noodle dish, place pea shoots in the colander and drain the hot noodles over them for the perfect wilt. For your stir fry drop the pea shoots in to retain some crunch. All young greens concentrate on the nutrition of mature vegetables.
Packed with vitamins A, C, and folic acid, Pea Shoots is a delicious, nutritious modern slant on the classic British garden pea. Lyndel Costain, B.Sc.RD, award-winning dietitian and author of Super Nutrients Handbook, says, “Pea Shoots are a nutritious leaf with high levels of vitamin C and vitamin A. A 50g bag of these tasty greens offers more than half of the RDA for vitamin C, a quarter of the RDA for vitamin A and significant amounts of folic acid. It is great news that this healthy and simple to prepare vegetable leaf is readily available to consumers.”
