Freshly harvested Dwarf Grey Sugar Pea Shoots combine young succulent stems, tender leaves, and fine curling tendrils in a substantial fresh green. Their aroma and flavor recall newly shelled peas, with mild vegetal sweetness and a clean green finish. The stems provide crisp-tender snap while the leaves soften quickly on the palate and the tendrils add delicate texture. Dwarf Grey Sugar is prized for its mild, sweet pea flavor and tender young shoots. Served raw, the shoots remain juicy and architectural.
