Science Brief

What the science does (and does not) say about pea shoots.

A reference nutrition table for fresh shoots with ranges from several sources, the clarification that the protein figure applies to mature peas rather than shoots, the studied compounds (phenolics, flavonoids, vitamin C, chlorophyll) drawn from a 2026 study, and an honest table of common claims vs. actual evidence. Closes with how to use them in practice.

Who it's for: anyone who wants the "why" behind the crop, or nuanced, science-backed content without overstated claims.

Format: 5-page PDF, with cited academic sources and a note that it doesn't replace medical advice.
