Did you know?
These are the tenderest tips and tendrils of the pea plant. In Chinese and Hong Kong kitchens they are flashed in a wok with garlic; long cooking costs them both their colour and their crunch.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
