Microgreen peas remind many of the pea pods they used to snack on as children. They taste great as a salad base or on a buttered pretzel. To ensure your growing process goes smoothly, here's a short guide:
- Soak the seeds for 12-14 hours (please do not soak them longer)
- Use a bowl without holes and distribute the soil evenly in it
- Press down on the earth,
- Now spread the seeds on your potting soil and water them shortly afterwards
- Spray your seeds with food-grade diluted hydrogen peroxide solution (I use 30 ml to 1 liter of water for a 3% solution),
- Cover the seeds with a bowl without holes and place a weight on top (e.g. a stone)
- Cover it every day, briefly spray it with your solution, and then cover it again with the bowl and weight
- If you notice any seeds that might not germinate or are mushy while covering them, sort them out immediately and spray that area with your hydrogen peroxide solution
- Once the pea sprouts push the cover tray upwards, you can remove the cover tray
- Pour water over them and spray them with your hydrogen peroxide solution
- Place them in the light and water them daily until you harvest them.
Enjoy your successful harvest.
