We would like to grow these peas to our Florida garden. Are all varieties edible?. Which have you found to be the tastiest?
Thanks!
Jessica Fisher
I don’t know which specific varieties I’ve grown in the past, but we really like sugar snap peas.

Tendrils are only the parts of the plant that attach to something – those modified leaves that curl around things. Most of what you have pictured are leaves and stems, even flowers. So technically you have pea shoots.

I getcha, though the farmer advertised them as tendrils. Trader Joe’s sells pea shoots and they look really different than these.

I have heard them called both.

Thanks! I get a box every other week from AHO and recently got some pea tendrils and have been wondering what I should do with them…thanks for the inspiration!
Jessica
@Krissa, really? We haven’t had any in several weeks. I want some more!

Love pea tendrils! They are so tender and tasty. We have a local restaurant who uses them as a garnish on all of their sandwiches, omelets, and more – yummy!

I had never had them before they came in my Abundant Harvest box as well. I sauted aspargus and fresh garlic, mixed it with pasta, and added the pea shoots so they just barely wilted. Super yummy!

We joined a CSA last year and had our first pea tendril experience! Your posts are getting me excited to get ours! Unfortunately, we still need to wait another month or so since we are behind you in the growing season. (We are in MN). Keep these “crazy” recipes coming please!

I’ve never heard of pea tendrils, this salad looks awsome though!
