    Speckled peas, one of the most ideal plants for microgreens because they are strong growers and cheap. Even at that height/age, some people don’t like them because they’re a bit tough, but still very edible if you chop only the top half.

      I grew pea microgreens once, and can confirm. They were a bit too stringy/tough for my liking. However, when they were still much shorter they were crisp and watery like bean sprouts and I much preferred them like that. If you haven’t, cut a few early and see if you like.
