Pea microgreens are relatively easy to grow. Plant pea seeds in a shallow, well-draining medium, keep them moist, provide 12-18 hours of daily light, and maintain the recommended temperature and humidity. They typically mature in 7-14 days and are ready to harvest when they reach 5-15 centimetres in height. Cultivating and selling pea microgreens presents a compelling business opportunity. These delicate greens are in high demand due to their widespread culinary use, ensuring a consistent market. Their rapid growth cycle and relatively low maintenance make them an attractive option for growers. Moreover, supporting local, sustainable agriculture by growing and selling pea microgreens contributes to environmental responsibility. As a profitable venture, it offers the potential for high returns, while promoting healthy, locally sourced produce to the community. It’s a business that aligns with modern culinary trends and sustainable practices. Pea microgreens are packed with essential nutrients. They are a good source of vitamins like vitamin C for immune support and vitamin K for blood clotting. Additionally, they provide minerals like potassium for heart health and folate for cell division. Pea microgreens have a delicate, sweet, and fresh flavour reminiscent of young peas. They offer a mild, slightly nutty taste with a hint of earthiness.
