Pea shoot (Pisum sativum)
Synopsis
Pea shoots are the tender young leaves and stems of the pea plant (Pisum sativum), harvested early for their concentrated nutritional content. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, folate, and antioxidants, pea shoots are traditionally consumed for their rejuvenating and alkalizing effects. They support immune function, eye health, and cellular repair. Their chlorophyll and phytonutrient content also aid in detoxification and promote skin health. Pea shoots are often included in fresh salads, green juices, and herbal tonics.
