Production & Sourcing

Green pea sprouts are produced by germinating green pea seeds under controlled conditions. The process begins with selecting high-quality, organic green pea seeds that have been thoroughly cleaned and sorted. The seeds are then soaked in water for a period of 8-10 hours to enhance their moisture content and initiate the sprouting process.

After soaking, the seeds are placed in a sprouting tray or other suitable container with a moist substrate such as a paper towel or vermiculite. The sprouting trays are then kept in a warm, dark environment, with proper ventilation and regular spraying of water to maintain moisture levels. This encourages the seeds to germinate and grow rapidly, as the warm and humid conditions mimic the ideal natural environment needed for sprouting.

Once the sprouts have grown to a desired length of about 2-4 inches, they are harvested by gently removing them from the sprouting tray. The sprouts are then thoroughly washed and sorted before packaging and distribution.

Green pea sprouts are mostly grown domestically, with a few imports coming from countries such as China and India. However, due to their quick germination time and easy growth, they can also be cultivated in home gardens and small-scale farms.
