wanted to try the herb salad mixed bag from asda and it has:

mixed leaves (virgil victoire, saigon)
mizuna
rocket
flat leaf parsley
coriander
pea shoots

:)
 
Hope so, my girls love them and you can buy a bag of just pea shoots at sainsburys, Between 5 of them they dont last long. :))
 
I'm not sure pea shoots are safe. Pea pods are, but not any part of the plants itself.

Runner beans & their leaves are. If in doubt leave it out is what I always say :)
 
I'm pretty sure pea shoots are fine.

Mine love pea pods - saves chucking them in the compost :))

If it's peppery I wouldn't eat it let alone the piggies lol!

Well if everyone else gives them pea shoots they must be okay, weird why all the books I have say only pea pods, never feed the plant itself (which would mean shoots?) Totally confused now lol! rolleyes

so many contradictions isn't there! rolleyes i might ask the vet on thursday when we go :))

mizuna i agree with not feeding, especially if it's a mustard taste. ?/

i don't eat any veggies :red but isn't rocket peppery tasting aswell? ?/
 
Now I quite like rocket, can they have that? It's quite peppery but I get the mixture so it only occasionally startles me when I get a bit in my mouth :))
 
i think i might try them with pea shoots then when ches has had his dental and recovered. :)
