Another important trick is to make sure the shoots are moist enough during cultivation as dried out shoots go bitter.

Your home-grown Pea shoots are popular and delicious as a substitute for traditional green salad leaves. However, you will notice that they are not easy to chew as salad. Therefore I recomment that you cut them to bite size if you use them in wraps or sandwiches. That makes it a more elegant experience to eat them. Many also choose to juice pea shoots as this is a part of the long rawfood tradition to get more of the nutrients from these plants.

If you grow Pea shoots they do not need fertilizer as they absorb nitrogen from the air. But they will grow faster if you give them artificial light from the day they unfold their first set of leaves. This happens on day 4 or 5 of their growth.

A scent of curry from Fenugreek

I recommend that you eat your Fenugreek at a time, when you do not have engagements the next day that make you to sweat. This is because Fenugreek seeds and young fenugreek sprouts can tend to make your body carry a scent of curry. This is no problem unless you prefer to be odourless on that special day.

Fenugreek is a very unique plant in that you can eat it on many stages of the cultivation. As sprouted seeds with just a small root they have a very strong curry taste and scent. many use these in tea.

As a sprout with only the small set of leaves unfolded and green, their curry scent is almost gone but it is still there when you eat the plants. As microgreens your Fenugreek is a great salad substitution with just a hint of curry.
