We had a special guest drop by this morning. He (she?) was doing a little window shopping. A good 6 inches in length, but I don't know what kind of bug it is. Any suggestions?

Magnolias are beautiful trees, with amazing blooms in the spring before the leaves appear. On a few occasions we've seen a single mid-summer bloom. There's well in excess of 50 blooms right now. Absolutely stunning!

Let’s talk about Peas!

As a microgreen, pea shoots taste very similar to shelled sugar peas. The flavour is a little sweeter though. Try to imagine (or remember) walking into your grandmother’s garden and sneaking some fresh peas, right off the vine’. That same taste, healthy, juicy, and as fresh as can be. That’s the initial benefit of microgreen peas.

Like all microgreens, peas have significantly higher nutritional value than their full sized counterparts. While the fat content is actually higher, the total calories and carbohydrates is lower. They’ve got higher protein and fiber too. Combine that with 14 times more Vitamin K, 358% more Manganese, and 60% more folate. Folate, (Vitamin B-9 in case you’re wondering), is important in the formation of red blood cells and for healthy cell growth. It’s also crucial during early pregnancy to reduce the risk of birth defects.

Microgreen peas are also loaded with phytoestrogens. That’s great news for women as studies have shown that this nutrient can help balance their hormones and cycles. It’s also great for men as some studies have shown phytoestrogen to improve libido, lower blood sugar and inflammation.
So, whether you like peas for their nutritional benefits, because they taste great, or both, drop in to Microgreens Ottawa today and taste the difference, you’ll wonder why you waited so long!
