Season

Late February through Late April

Benefits

Pea shoots deliver the concentrated nutrition of mature peas in a delicate, tender green that contains more vitamin C than blueberries and more folate than spinach. Their sweet, fresh flavor carries hints of both peas and spring itself, providing a versatile ingredient that adds both nutrition and visual elegance to everything from salads to stir-fries with minimal effort.

Recipe Suggestions

• Sir fry pea shoots with garlic
• Pea shoot lemon pasta

Notes

Pea shoot season is frightening short. If you see them being sold, definitely take advantage of it and get yourself a bag!
