Pea Shoots

Microgreen

Pisum sativum

Overview
Yellow peas are a great non-GMO protein source and are becoming more prevalent in feed rations with protein percentages ranging from 21-25. They contain high levels of carbohydrates, are low in fiber, and contain 86-87% total digestible nutrients, making them an excellent livestock feed. In spring or fall, sow alone or mixed with vetch and/or oats, winter rye, or ryegrass. Harvest for grain at 16-18% moisture or when the seeds are hardened and fully mature. Inoculate with Garden Combination Inoculant (#7531) or Pea, Vetch, and Lentil Inoculant (#7534) for best performance.
Planting
Soak seeds 8-12 hours, then sow densely on growing medium. Cover with humidity dome until germination.
