Pea shoots are the young, tender leaves and stems of the pea plant, typically harvested when they are about 3 to 4 inches tall. They have a mild, sweet flavor and a crisp texture, making them a popular addition to salads, stir-fries, and sandwiches. Pea shoots are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants, which contribute to their nutritional value. These shoots are easy to grow at home and can be cultivated in containers or garden beds. They thrive in cool weather and can be harvested within a few weeks of planting. Their versatility and health benefits make them a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike.
