Pea - Yellow (organic) - Microgreens Seeds

12-16 days. When grown as a microgreen this pea produces more tendrils than any of our other peas. Light green in color, they are also a bit paler than the others. This can be exaggerated by limiting their exposure to light.

Growing Directions:

Yellow pea microgreens are very easy to grow in soil and a bit more challenging on hydroponic mediums, but totally doable. Soak seeds in cold water for four hours (you can soak for longer). Make sure you use plenty of water and a large bowl, as yellow pea seeds soak up large amounts of water. You can plant directly, but we prefer to transfer to a colander. Rinse 2 to 4 times a day in the colander for another day or two until the seedlings begin to peek out. Tamp the soil gently to flatten.

Spread evenly (they should be quite thick) and tamp very gently to insure contact with the soil. Mist thoroughly twice a day. Keep covered with the blackout or humidity dome for 3 to 4 more days before exposing light. Water once a day so the soil is damp, but not soggy.
