About Sugar snap peas

Sugar snap peas are edible-podded peas harvested while both the pod and the developing peas are tender. The pods are plump, green, and crisp, with a mild, sweet, fresh pea flavour; unlike shelling peas, the whole pod is eaten.

They are commonly eaten raw or cooked briefly by steaming, stir-frying, or sautéing. Fresh pods are the usual form, while frozen snap peas are also available; cooking and freezing can alter their crispness and moisture.
