New to this seasonal spring treat? Pea shoots
are delicate and sweet, and taste like the pea pods themselves. They're great raw in salads, as a swap for lettuce on a sandwich, in egg scrambles or frittatas, or using them as a pretty, edible garnish. Unlike pea sprouts, these leaves and tendrils are grown in the soil. (Sprouts, with their long stems and tiny leaves, are actually sprouted peas grown in water.) They truly taste like spring!
Here are a few great recipes for pea shoots:
Pea Shoot and Baby Arugula Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
Baby Spinach and Pea Shoot Salad with a Honey Lemon Vinaigrette
Pea Shoot Frittata
Stop by the farm shop this weekend for your pea shoots, arugula, spinach, eggs, and cheese! Enjoy!
