Pea White - Microgreens seeds

General Information about Pea White microgreens

Introducing Pea White – Seeds for Microgreens, our latest addition to the pea family. This unique variety features white seeds and is an excellent choice for growers looking for reliable performance, great taste, and an unbeatable price. Originally cultivated under eco standards, Pea White meets all organic-quality norms, but due to a logistics error in the certification process, it is sold without the BIO certificate – making it a true bargain for professionals and hobbyists alike.

Pea White is an Afila-type variety (Pisum sativum) known for its vigorous growth, high germination rate, and reliable, fast results. It’s an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced microgreen growers. What makes Pea White stand out is its distinctive white seeds, setting it apart from other varieties like Pea Green and Pea Jumbo. It grows just as quickly as Pea Foxy but with fewer curls, offering a cleaner, straighter look while still delivering that same vibrant, fresh flavor.

Taste & Appearance

Pea White microgreens develop into tender, vibrant green shoots with delicate curly tendrils. They offer a mildly sweet, nutty flavor with a fresh pea finish—perfect for fresh dishes, salads, or as a garnish in high-end culinary presentations.

What makes this pea even more appealing is its short, non-tangling tendrils, which keep neighboring shoots intact and ensure a clean, aesthetic look after harvest. The small seeds sprout quickly, producing a dense, uniform yield—just like the well-loved Pea Foxy. After cutting, the microgreens naturally form a triangular shape, making them easy to plate beautifully—an ideal choice for fine dining and Michelin-starred restaurants.
