Pea Shoots

Our pea shoots

At W.S. Bentley, we’ve been perfecting the art of growing for decades, and our pea shoots are no exception.

Sourced from high-quality pea varieties grown in the UK, our shoots are cultivated under precisely controlled conditions to ensure they deliver on flavour, colour and texture providing a consistent quality every time.

We offer two varieties to suit different foodservice needs – Tendril, valued for its striking appearance and texture, and Leafy, traditionally used in retail but now increasingly popular in foodservice settings. Our pea shoot cavities are available in following formats: 

  • Tendril pea shoots: as living shoots in punnets, or cut product in 30g and 100g punnets, 1kg boxes, and 5kg bulk crates (customer’s own packaging)
  • Leafy pea shoots: 30g and 100g punnets, 1kg boxes, and 5kg bulk crates (customer’s own packaging)

Grown for consistency

Our pea shoots are grown in trays layered with natural kitchen towel and peas are carefully placed on top to germinate . After sowing, the trays are transferred to our dark, temperature-controlled germination rooms where the roots begin to develop. We monitor germination over seven days before moving the trays to our glasshouses for another seven-day growing cycle.

Our growing environment is fully computerised, allowing us to make incremental adjustments to light, temperature and humidity. This level of precision helps us maintain plant health and quality even when external weather conditions fluctuate.

We also offer flexible ordering and collection or delivery. As well as a range of microgreens and salad cress tailored to foodservice customers.
