Sugar Snap Peas encapsulate the essence of spring with their crisp, plump pods and succulent, sweet peas nestled within. Serving as a delightful blend of green pea flavor and edible-podded snap, these vibrant green vegetables boast a crunchy texture that makes them perfect for snacking raw or tossing into stir-fries. Each pod is rounded, typically about 2 to 3 inches long, and contains full-sized peas that contribute to the snap pea's signature juicy bite. Sugar Snap Peas can enliven a salad, add crunch to wraps and sandwiches, or serve as a vibrant side dish when lightly steamed and flavored with a touch of butter and herbs. Aside from their fresh taste, they are a nutritious addition to any meal, providing vitamin C, vitamin K, and fiber.
