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.
General Information
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.
Growing Instructions
- Soak: Soak seeds in water for 8–12 hours.
- Rest: Allow to rest for 6–12 hours after soaking.
- Sow: Evenly spread the seeds.
- Stack & Blackout: Stack trays and keep in blackout for 3–4 days.
- Lighting: Provide 16/8 hour day/night cycle lighting after blackout.
- Watering: Water from the bottom to avoid mold.
- Harvest: Ready to harvest in 9–11 days. Dry plants for longer storage.
Tip: No fertilizer needed – but it may boost growth. Performs well in hydroponic setups. For a crunchier texture, limit light exposure slightly during the final days.
Why It’s a Smart Pick – Eco Standards, Budget Price
- White-seeded variety – rare and visually distinct
- Grown under eco practices (lost certification due to delivery address error)
- Quality that meets organic standards
- Non-BIO price for near-BIO quality – true opportunity!
