Water
Instructions
1
Select the Seeds
Select good pea seeds and discard any that are unusually small, damaged, or moldy.
2
Soak
Rinse the seeds several times with water, then soak them in water for 6–12 hours.
3
Arrange in the Tray
Drain the seeds thoroughly, place them in a seed-starting tray lined with moisture-retaining paper, and keep the tray in a well-ventilated, dark location.
4
Mist
Spray the seed surface with water 2 times each day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
5
Expose to Light
When the pea shoots reach 3–4 cm, expose them to light as needed. They will quickly change from golden yellow to green and produce many green leaves.
6
Harvest
Continue misting 2 times each day as usual; the shoots can be harvested on day 10 after sowing.
7
Harvest Again
With continued care, the shoots can be harvested another 1–2 times.
