Pea microgreens are rich in carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin, which play a crucial role in safeguarding the eyes against age-related macular degeneration and cataracts by shielding them from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays. Additionally, pea shoots provide approximately 15% of the daily recommended value (DV) of vitamin A, which is approximately four times more than what you'd find in tomatoes.
