Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Like EW, I grow my own peas, and often have many varieties of peas for sprouting (I dehydrate mine during the season) Comventionally grown means they were not grown using organic methods, in other words would have pesticides, herbicides, etc. Unless an item is listed as organic, it would be considered conventional. > > > > Thats a good qestion. I grow my own peas. At the end of the season, I let the pods dry and then harvest the seeds. Because I grow several different kinds of peas, they cross breed and will not be true if you replant them, so I use them for sprouting. > > > > If I were to buy pea seeds to sprout, I would choose Oregon Sugar Pod.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'd love to know what kind of peas too.

Melody and anyone else who easts pea shoots, is there any special kind of pea or does it not matter? When I read on a web page that there seeds are either organic or conventional what does conventional mean?

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hehe... I found that website a few weeks ago. I've been looking in 'selected stores' of Marks and Spencers and Sainsburys ever since, but I'm yet to see the pea shoots on sale... at £1 for 50g (about $1.50). I'm laughing that I can buy a big bag of dried peas from any Sainsburys store for about 80p ($1.20), which will produce me, I think, about £50 ($75) worth of lovely freshly picked pea shoots. It's a nice website... peas grow well in our climate over the summer months. Must be all our wet weather! Charlotte P.S. I'm not into the peashoot drinks recipes Melody, are you?!! > OMG , I am in pea shoot heaven with the link you provided. > Melody > > Melody, I have read your post and watched your vids about your pea shoots and I found a link for you (and everyone else) that you might like its: http://www.peashoots.com/peashoots.htm > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'm using marrowfat peas, and also some brand organic peas that I suspect are just field peas (I think you might call them English peas). Both taste delicious. I found this, as I was curious about the types too: Pea Varieties Good for Shoots and Tendrils Any type of pea will suffice, but sugar pod peas are the easiest types to grow for shoots and tendrils, since they tend to shoot up faster and stay light and crisp. 'Oregon Sugar Pod' seed is readily available and great for shoots and tendrils. http://gardening.about.com/od/vegetables/qt/Pea-Shoots-Tendrils.htm The shoots from snow, sugar snap, and English peas are all delicious. Just don't be tempted to sample pea shoots from sweet pea flowers—they are not edible. http://www.digginfood.com/2011/07/how-to-harvest-pea-shoots/ Charlotte > > I'd love to know what kind of peas too. > > > Carolyn Wilkerson > > > Â > > > To: sproutpeople > Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2012 7:41 PM > Subject: More questions..lol > > > Â > Hello all This is , ' Wife.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 After dehydrating do they still sprout and grow okay? I never thought of that though I know theyhave to dry out. I just didn't think of them as being dehydrated. In dehydrator and not oven?
