About Snow pea
Snow pea is the edible, flat pod of a pea plant, harvested while the seeds inside are still small. The pod is typically bright green, thin and flexible, with a crisp, tender bite and a mild, subtly sweet flavour. It is commonly sold fresh, and may also be found frozen or pre-trimmed.
The whole pod is eaten, usually after removing the stem end and any tough string along the seam. Snow peas are used raw or briefly cooked, including in stir-fries, salads and other vegetable preparations. They are distinct from shelling peas, which are grown mainly for their mature seeds, and from plumper snap peas.
