Pea shoots are the tender young leaves and stems of the pea plant, typically harvested when they are just a few inches tall. They have a delicate, sweet flavor reminiscent of fresh peas, with a slightly crisp texture that adds a refreshing crunch to dishes. The bright green color and soft, tendril-like tendrils make them visually appealing, making them an excellent garnish or ingredient in salads, stir-fries, and sandwiches. Their mild taste pairs well with a variety of ingredients, enhancing both savory and sweet dishes while adding a touch of elegance.
