Umuthi Maple Peas Sprouting Seeds are round, brown-dappled seeds used to grow unusual pea sprouts at home. Also known as Carlin Peas, they can be grown in either light or dark conditions, giving sprouters flexibility and a more interesting growing experience. When grown completely in the dark, the sprouts develop the look and taste of thin yellow asparagus. These natural, untreated, non-GMO seeds are a distinctive option for salads, savoury dishes, fresh garnishes, and sprouting experiments.

♡ Why we love it: Maple peas are a fun sprouting seed for customers who want something a little different. The option to grow them in the dark for pale, asparagus-like sprouts makes them especially interesting for adventurous home sprouters.
