Pea shoots and tendrils are crisp, juicy greens with the naturally sweet flavor of fresh garden peas and snap peas. Their flavor is mild and approachable, with fresh green, tender bean, and subtle floral notes, making them one of the easiest microgreens to use across both everyday and elevated dishes.

What sets pea shoots apart is their substantial texture and distinctive growth form. Sturdy stems, tender leaves, and curling tendrils give them more body than delicate microgreens and make them useful as both a salad ingredient and a finishing green. Some varieties are especially valued for their architectural tendrils, while others offer a fuller, leafier shoot.

Pea shoots can be enjoyed raw or very lightly wilted. They pair especially well with spring vegetables, seafood, eggs, soft cheeses, lemon, mint, and mushroom-forward dishes.
