Taste

Spring Pea is characterised by its highly unusual and decorative shape. Spring Pea is related to the sugar pea, making it a good substitute for peas in recipes.

Taste Friends

The product's sweet taste does well in combinations with bitter and tangy dishes. Spring Pea can be used in hot or cold dishes, or in salads where its pea-like flavour really comes through.

Origin

Spring Pea is the result of traditional seed improvement work, and has more foliage than a normal pea plant. In China, pea shoots in the spring are the first fresh vegetables that are available. The seeds germinate on the windowsill with the first warm rays of sunshine, and really give a sense that spring has arrived.

Availability

Spring Pea is available year round and can easily be stored for up to seven days at a temperature of 2-7°C. Produced in a socially responsible culture, Spring Pea meets the hygienic kitchen standards. The products only need rinsing, since they are grown clean and hygienically.
