Germinated peas

Germinated peas

The pigeon pea was soaked in 250 mL of water with 0.7% sodium hypochlorite for 30 min under atmospheric temperature of 28°C. The water was drained off. The seeds were soaked again in water for 5 h. The water was drained off and the seed placed on muslin cloth and allowed to germinate for 3 days at 28°C in the dark.

Steps for preparation

  • Drop your peas in a bowl of water to get them wet.
  • Dampen a full sheet of paper towel. Put your peas in the middle of the paper towel and wrap up, like a envelope.
  • Put the peas in a plastic bag or covered container. Check on the peas daily.
  • The peas will take a few days to sprout.
