“Green Peas shoots, especially when freshly harvested, contain vitamins and minerals including folate and Vit. A as well as chlorophyll and about 20% protein. For optimal protein uptake from pea shoots it is best to consume them raw as opposed to cooked. A one cup serving contains about 50% of the daily value for Vit. C, one of the highest next to broccoli sprouts.
The shoots are additionally comprised of flavonoids and polyphenols, specifically lignans and coumestrol, which are recently being studied for their anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory activities.
The shoots have a delicious, nutty and distinct sweet pea-like flavor with a more concentrated amount of nutrients and enzymes.”
