Pea Microgreens

One cup of pea shoots (microgreen's) provides about 35% the daily value of vitamin C and 15% the DV of vitamin A. 

In comparison, this is seven times as much vitamin C as blueberries and four times as much vitamin A as tomatoes. 

They are also an excellent source of vitamin K, providing 66% the DV from a one-cup serving.

Pea microgreen's are a great source of three chemoprotective agents: folate, antioxidants, and carotene. 

Folate helps produce and maintain cells and protects against DNA damage. Antioxidants help the body fight free radical damage, commonly associated with high cancer risk. Carotenes help inhibit antioxidant activity and are commonly associated with increased cancer prevention.

Pea microgreen's are dense with the antioxidants and phytonutrients needed to support the body’s complex inflammation system.

If you’re looking to boost the nutritional value of your meals, pea microgreen's can be used in a variety of meals. Try adding them to pasta for subtle texture and taste. 

They taste like peas, so not only are they scrumptious, they pack a powerful nutrient punch. 

That’s right, pea microgreen's contain vitamin C, vitamin A and are super-rich in antioxidants which provide anti-inflammatory and phytonutrients to support the body’s immune system.
