Little kids may not like “cooked peas” but they love these wonderful sprouts. Thank you for the clear explanation of how to grow these. You’re a good teacher.❤
I've been doing this for years, I think 3 years. I started with lentils, but I eat them with the roots because they are green and not that tasty. I use sprouted lentils in curry. I have known since last year that you can sprout green peas and eat the green peas, but sprouting peas was not easy for me, now that I have seen your video I think it is much easier. Thank you for the tips. a Greetings from the Netherlands
thanks for this. Today I had to throw 2 trays of peas microgreen due to mildew and mold but I couldn't figure out the problem. Now I know. so thank you for posting this
Food dehydrator trays work great for this if you want to try it before buying any equipment ! The fresh vegetables from the garden are all done, time to grow some greens inside ❤
Question - do you think making trays with stainless steel mesh would work? The reason why I ask is that I am concerned with long term use of plastics. I plan to grow fodder for my hens and sprouts for my rescued dogs and us. I am trying to grow safely and as healthy as possible. I was even wondering if there's some clay or bamboo alternatives for trays and pans....
@user-yv7kw1nr2q he could have just used sawdust or mulch. There's a vid floating around where he glues and mixes sawdust in a plastic pot, throws it in the oven to roast a sawdust pot
You just saved me a lot of failure. I started growing microgreens because of you and I just got thru failing a sweetpea batch due to mildew.. can't wait to stay tomorrow with this method. Thanks a bunch!
I use the same green trays for my microgreens. I grew alfalfa sprouts for myself and barley sprouts for my chickens. I used the bottom trays that came with the tops and never had a problem with mold. I stacked them on top of each other in the beginning, criss cross wise and when it was time to take them out I would just run my fingers back and forth through the roots and pull the sprouts right out of the top. The chickens loved them. This was a good reminder to start doing them again.
i'd use loofah sponges instead of plastic plates, they are environemtally friendly, disposable, compostable, doesn't produce microplastics, can be planted on the soil eventually.
Ok so I tried split peas using this method. I had noticeably lower yield than with soil. I have just started a batch of green peas and they are doing really well. Will try the split peas again. I did notice that the pea shoots are more tender when grown without soil. Not woody. ❤️🇨🇦
Those seed sticking to cotyledons are called helmet head, though I grow mainly pepper, they are common on irregular/ old/ very dry seed coat. Most of the time when there is soil, the seed remains in the soil while the stalk grow up and cotyledons uses the soil to anchor the seed and push the leaves out. If that doesn't happen, the seed coat gets push out of soil and dry in the air, we use water to wet the seed coat for the cotyledon to have easier time getting rid of the seed coat but it doesn't necessarily succeed. The cotyledons as you have mentioned gets mushy if too long.
I bought a Boomer Box for growing mushrooms in the root cellar. It has air circulation and automatic humidity control. It also works well for starting seedlings and I can't wait to try this. We've been growing microgreens in mason jars, and this looks even better.
No need for nutrients if you are only growing them for shoots, the seed has all the nutrients needed for the shoot. If you are growing a full plant you need to add nutrients. Save yourself some money.
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 Exactly and hydroponic nutrients are basically contaminating the natural nutrients with chemicals so its basically putting toxins in your body.
I often wondered about this. Can this technique used for other types of microgreens or just this one? If you're using this technique large scale there is something called adiabatic cooling which is nothing more than fine mist spray nozzles they use to precool air used to cool condensers that would probably do a great job automatically misting your tray roots. Great job on this video.
I have grown pea shoots in similar method using speckled pea for couple of years with great success. However, I just tried using green peas. I found they are more prone to mold. The key is to remove the mushy ones in time during the early stage.
Can we do the same method for other Microgreens also? Is it workable in other types of 10x20" black trays? How regularly spraying water into roots? Daily 3 times? Is it enough? What is the room temp we need to keep to avoid any dryness?
This is great. My peas always looked kind of manky by the end. This is a really good way of approaching it. So if the peas haven’t gone gross, can they be cooked at that point like any other bean that’s only been sprouted for a day or two? (I sprout my lentils before cooking into soup for digestibility reasons.)
I love your way, better than growing microgreens in potting mix. Doing it your way I don't have to worry about washing soil medium off the microgreens. So few tools needed as well! Black tote, microgreen trays, something to stand them on, spray bottle, water, glad bag. Easy!
Thanks for sharing. I used to do this for cat grass, so I knew it was possible. I’d be cooking up the peas and roots after. Still should be lots of valuable nutrition there. Sprouted legumes and seeds and grains are supposed to be the best for bioavailability/digestibility of nutrients. Without at least soaking and sprouting or cooking they have varying anti-nutrients that are hard to digest/assimilate. (Or proper fermentation).
Merci pour les astuces, j’ai les mêmes plateaux mais j’avais du moisi surtout avec le blé (pour faire du jus d’herbe), je comprends mieux pourquoi, je vais donc retenter avec le blé pour savoir ça c’est mieux comme ça. Merci 🙏
Love this simple idea. I love pea shoots. Basically this can be used for any greens. I eat the roots and everything. What do you do with there roots and leftover tops?
What would you recommend for growing microgreens from smaller seeds? they would probably fall through this mat. Is there a smaller grid you can purchase, or would you add something on top of the mat to prevent seeds from falling through (paper towel?)
Do you purchase sprouting seeds specifically or do the bird seed ones sprout as effectively? I've had seed sprout randomly in the bag despite warnings of it being sprayed with inhibitors, the bag did get wet of course, was surprised to read that the flavor is sweet
I absolutely adore pea shoots. I would have to put a fan on them to keep them drier but i still often got mold issues while watering from the bottom. I used the under tray that came with them though. I like this idea of using the tote and i will definitely try that. How long did you leave them under the lights every day once the shoots came in?
Love the name, love the badge 😂. Do you have any suppliers of Ivor? You've asked the question I was going to ask. Could roots and 'waste' be blended into a smoothie?
You can put a couple of large round airstones with an air pump hooked up in the bottom tank and that will bubble up onto the roots without have to spray them. I’m assuming you didn’t use nutrients?
This is incredible, im just wondering. Did they grow without light the whole time. Top on container for whole 7 days ? Thanks This information is a blessing.
Love your channel, recently discovered you and have learned so much already. I grow my microgreens but don't use any lights other than sunlight coming in through my window. I do notice my microgreens are literally "microgreens" with tiny leaves compared to your "baby greens". Do you think this is due to me just using indirect sunlight from a southern exposure window? Do I need to purchase LEDs/Fluorescents lighting for them to grow more? I also do not fertilize them, but have now ordered your recommended fertilizer, and just ordered your eBook on Etsy, thank you it is very helpful. Thank you and peace be with you :)
Thank you. Yes, any extra light helps. You can make due without but when you can afford it, start with a cheap light. Practice and work your way up as you learn.
Can you shave off the roots and cook the peas, or has the nutrition been used up? I know you can soaking peas ahead of cooking to sprout. It says this can provide several health benefits, primarily by increasing their nutrient availability due to reduced levels of anti-nutrients like phytic acid, making them easier to digest and absorb minerals like iron and zinc; however, potential side effects include potential bacterial growth if not handled properly, and some people might experience digestive discomfort from the increased fiber content. Health benefits of sprouting peas: Improved digestion: The sprouting process increases fiber content, which aids digestion and promotes regular bowel movements. Enhanced nutrient absorption: Soaking and sprouting reduces the amount of phytic acid, allowing for better absorption of minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium. Higher protein content: Sprouted peas may have a slightly higher protein content compared to unsprouted peas. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants: Sprouting can boost levels of certain vitamins like vitamin C and antioxidants, potentially offering additional health benefits. Potential side effects of eating sprouted peas: Bacterial contamination: If not handled properly, sprouts can harbor bacteria like salmonella, so proper hygiene and sourcing from reliable sources are crucial. Digestive discomfort: The increased fiber content in sprouts can cause bloating, gas, and stomach cramps in some individuals, especially if consumed in large quantities. Allergies: Some people may be allergic to certain types of legumes, including peas, and should consult a healthcare professional before consuming sprouted peas. Important considerations when sprouting peas: Choose high-quality peas: Opt for organic, untreated peas to minimize potential pesticide residues. Proper soaking and rinsing: Follow recommended soaking times and thoroughly rinse the peas before sprouting to remove excess starch and potential bacteria. Monitor sprouting conditions: Maintain a clean and controlled environment to prevent bacterial growth. Consume fresh sprouts: Eat sprouted peas promptly after sprouting to ensure optimal freshness and nutrient content. I dislike waste, but I guess I could compost the spent peas.
Do you have any tips on making cleaning the trays easier? The roots like to get stuck and I hate dealing with it almost as much as I love the microgreens, so I don't sprout them as much as I would otherwise.
I am a newbie. Those microwave plates with holes must be commercially available. Same with the peas. Still unclear about how much time should elapse between states of growth. Also, do you just use plain tap water? About how warm should they be whilst growing. Thank you for your intriguing video!
Organic soil is the healthiest medium to grow in. Millions of microorganisms that make nutrients available to plants and inturn to us. It's not conducive to mass production though.
By the way, chickens would love to eat all those left over trimmed roots and shoots, etc
@@cherylwmh6543 Yep, worms too. I grow microgreens this way and put the scraps in my worm bin.

My experience with pea shoots is that they will grow back once or twice after harvesting. Don't be too quick to "clean up".
You can. The ones that did not germinate as fast will grow. The ones you cut tend to get more woody.
Thank you, didn't know that!
I would use canning rings then less worry on where to position the trays.
Great idea!
Canning rings will rust unfortunately. Found that out the hard way, still trying to remove the rust rings from my countertop 😢
The less plastic involved, the better. The peas will absorb a bunch of the plastic chemicals.

You should experiment - one tray with nutrients one without as I suspect you are wasting money there.
