Care information

Proper storage and handling can help maintain seed quality and germination performance. Keep seeds sealed, dry and protected from heat, moisture and direct sunlight.

Storage: For best long-term storage, keep seeds refrigerated in a clean, airtight container or securely sealed packaging. A refrigerator at approximately 4°C provides a cool, stable environment that can help maintain seed viability. If refrigeration is not practical, store seeds in the coolest available dry, dark and temperature-stable location.

Moisture: Keep seeds dry at all times during storage. Excess moisture or humidity can reduce seed quality and encourage premature germination, mould or deterioration. Always reseal opened packaging promptly.

Removing Seeds from Refrigeration: Keep refrigerated seeds sealed while they return to room temperature before opening the package or container. This helps prevent condensation from forming on cold seeds and introducing unwanted moisture.

Temperature: Avoid repeated temperature changes and do not store seeds near ovens, heaters, windows, vehicles, sheds or other areas exposed to excessive or fluctuating heat.

Handling: Use clean, dry utensils when removing seed from larger packs and return the remaining seed to refrigerated storage promptly after use.

Before Sowing or Sprouting: Inspect seeds before use and discard any showing signs of moisture damage, mould, unusual odour or deterioration. When growing edible sprouts or microgreens, use clean equipment and drinking-quality water.

Best Quality: Use seed while fresh and follow any product-specific storage, germination and growing information provided in the Specifications, growing instructions or product packaging.

Delivery and Shipping

Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on your order size and weight, delivery address and available carrier services. We use Australia Post and other carriers to provide suitable delivery options and rates.

Dispatch

Orders are generally packed and dispatched within 0–2 business days (Monday–Friday), excluding public holidays and unusually busy periods.

Delivery Times

Delivery times begin from the date your order is dispatched. As a general guide, Australia Post Parcel Post usually takes 2–6 business days, while Express Post generally takes 1–3 business days where available.

Regional and remote destinations may take longer. Orders containing seed sent to Western Australia, Tasmania or other biosecurity-controlled destinations may also require additional processing or inspection.

Delivery estimates are provided as a guide only and can be affected by carrier delays, weather, peak periods and biosecurity requirements.

Tracking

All shipped orders include tracking. Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive an email with your tracking information so you can follow its progress.

Authority to Leave

Depending on the carrier and delivery service, your parcel may be left in a safe location if no one is available to receive it. You can provide delivery instructions during checkout where supported by the carrier; however, specific delivery requests cannot always be guaranteed.

Local Pickup – Riverstone, NSW

Local pickup can be selected at checkout when available. Please allow approximately 2–3 business days for your order to be prepared.

Wait until we contact you to confirm that your order is ready and arrange a suitable collection time.

Please do not attend the warehouse without an appointment. All pickups are strictly by prior arrangement.

Seed Biosecurity – WA & Tasmania

Seeds and other plant material may be subject to state biosecurity restrictions.

Western Australia has specific entry requirements for seed, and seed consignments may be inspected by Quarantine WA. Tasmania also regulates the importation of viable seed, with additional requirements applying to certain species and consignments.

Requirements vary by seed species, quantity and destination and may change over time. Customers in Western Australia, Tasmania and other biosecurity-controlled areas should check current state requirements before ordering.

Where an order contains seed that cannot meet applicable biosecurity requirements, we may need to contact you before dispatch or remove affected products from the order.

Blue Pea Sprouting Seeds – Australian Field Peas

Grow sweet, crunchy blue pea sprouts with Australian-grown field peas. Also suitable for cooking, pea shoots, microgreens and growing, with bulk sizes available Australia-wide.

Description

Blue Pea Sprouting Seeds for Sweet, Crunchy Sprouts

Grow substantial, crunchy sprouts at home with our blue pea sprouting seeds. Blue field peas produce firm young sprouts with a mild, naturally sweet and slightly nutty pea flavour and are generally ready to harvest in approximately 2–4 days.

These large seeds are well suited to jar sprouting and expand considerably after soaking. Regular rinsing, thorough drainage and good airflow help produce crisp, evenly developed sprouts.

Crunchy Blue Pea Sprouts

Blue pea sprouts are larger and more substantial than delicate leafy sprouts such as alfalfa or clover. Their familiar pea flavour and firm texture work particularly well in salads, wraps, grain bowls, stir-fries, soups and other savoury meals.

Shorter sprouts generally have the firmest texture and strongest fresh-pea character, making them particularly useful when you want a hearty sprout rather than a delicate leafy garnish.

Make a Crunchy Pea, Chickpea & Lentil Sprout Mix

Blue peas work particularly well grown together with Chickpea Sprouting Seeds and Red Lentil Sprouting Seeds. All three produce substantial sprouts with complementary textures and mild, earthy flavours.

Their soaking and growing requirements are similar enough for them to be combined in the same jar. Use a conservative total quantity because peas and chickpeas expand considerably after soaking, and always leave enough room for drainage and airflow.

Blue Field Peas – Not Butterfly Pea

These are blue field peas belonging to Pisum sativum. They should not be confused with butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea), which is a completely different flowering plant.

The term “blue pea” refers to this type of field pea rather than to the blue-flowered butterfly pea commonly used for herbal teas and natural colouring.

Cook Blue Field Peas as a Dried Pulse

Blue field peas do not need to be sprouted before use. The whole dried peas can also be soaked and thoroughly cooked until tender for soups, stews, curries, casseroles and other savoury pulse dishes.

Cooked field peas develop a soft, hearty texture and can also be mashed for savoury fillings, patties and other pea-based recipes. Dry peas may also be milled using suitable equipment to produce pea flour.

Other Growing Uses

The same viable seed can also be grown for longer in trays to produce pea shoots or tendrils, or planted in suitable conditions and grown towards maturity. These methods differ from the short jar-sprouting method provided on this page.

Home & Bulk Blue Pea Sprouting Seeds

OzSprout blue field pea seeds are available from 250g through to 20kg bulk quantities, making them suitable for home sprouters, regular growers, cooks, retailers, resellers and larger-volume users.

How to Grow Blue Pea Sprouts

Blue field peas are large sprouting seeds that expand considerably after soaking. Regular rinsing, thorough drainage and good airflow help produce firm, crunchy sprouts.

What You Need

Approximately 3 tablespoons / 30–35g of blue pea seed
A clean 500ml wide-mouth glass jar or suitable sprouter
A sprouting lid or draining screen
A draining stand, rack or bowl
Clean, drinking-quality water

Step-by-Step Instructions

Clean your equipment: Wash your hands and thoroughly clean the jar, lid and utensils before starting.
Measure the seed: Add approximately 3 tablespoons of blue field peas to a 500ml sprouting jar. Remove any visibly damaged, split or deteriorated peas.
Rinse and soak: Rinse thoroughly, cover generously with clean drinking-quality water and soak for approximately 8–12 hours.
Drain thoroughly: Discard the soaking water, rinse again and drain completely.
Position for drainage: Keep the jar tilted with the opening facing downward so excess moisture can escape and air can circulate.
Rinse regularly: Rinse and thoroughly drain the developing sprouts approximately 2–3 times each day.
Maintain suitable conditions: Keep the jar in a well-ventilated position away from hot direct sunlight. A growing temperature of approximately 18–22°C is suitable.
Watch for germination: Small white roots will emerge as the peas germinate and continue developing over the following days.
Harvest: Blue pea sprouts are generally ready in approximately 2–4 days, depending on temperature and your preferred sprout length.

Blue Pea, Chickpea & Red Lentil Sprout Mix

Blue peas, chickpeas and whole red lentils make a particularly good crunchy sprout mix and can be grown together because their soaking and growing requirements overlap well.

For a 500ml jar, a practical starting point is approximately:

1 tablespoon blue peas
1 tablespoon chickpeas
1 tablespoon whole red lentils

This keeps the total quantity at approximately 3 tablespoons of dry seed, leaving room for the peas and chickpeas to expand.

Combine the three dry seeds and rinse thoroughly.
Soak together for approximately 10–12 hours.
Drain completely.
Rinse and drain approximately 2–3 times each day.
Maintain good airflow and keep the jar tilted between rinses.
Begin checking the mix from around day 3.
Harvest when all three varieties have germinated well and reached the texture you prefer, generally around 3–5 days.

The proportions can be adjusted after you have grown a few batches depending on whether you prefer more pea, chickpea or lentil in the finished mix.

Tips for Best Results

Peas swell substantially during soaking, so avoid overcrowding the jar.
Drain thoroughly after every rinse.
Do not leave standing water around the sprouts.
Maintain good airflow.
Keep away from hot direct sunlight.
Shorter blue pea sprouts generally provide the firmest texture.
When making the three-seed mix, use the total seed quantity as your guide rather than adding a full single-variety serving of each seed.
Discard sprouts that become slimy, show obvious mould or decay, or develop a sour, rotten or unusually musty smell.

Harvest & Storage

Give the finished sprouts a final thorough rinse and drain them as completely as practical.

Transfer the well-drained sprouts to a clean covered container and refrigerate promptly.

Use while fresh and discard them if their appearance, smell or texture deteriorates.

Food Safety

Raw sprouts can carry harmful bacteria even when carefully grown at home.

Always use clean equipment and drinking-quality water, maintain thorough drainage and refrigerate harvested sprouts promptly.

People at increased risk from foodborne illness, including pregnant women, young children, some older people and people with compromised immunity, should avoid raw or lightly cooked sprouts.

Thorough cooking reduces the food-safety risk associated with raw sprouts.
