what's a pea shoot, tom???


Pea shoots are the choice leaves and tendrils of pea plants. Shoots are typically harvested from snow pea vines, although they can be from any type of garden pea.
Rinse pea shoots in cool water, drain and let dry. Remove any stems that look coarse. Pea shoots can be eaten raw or lightly cooked. To cook, place damp pea shoots in an empty saucepan over medium heat. The water clinging to the damp shoots is enough to steam them. Cover and heat just until wilted.
Pea shoots are considered a “green.” Green leafy vegetables are typically nutrient-dense. This means that for very few calories you get large amounts of vitamins and minerals. For just 10 calories and no fat, take a look at the nutrients in 2 cups of raw pea shoots.1
Look for pea shoots at your local farmers’ market in spring, early summer and fall.
