Peas, Oregon Sugar Pod II

This Heirloom, Non-GMO Oregon Sugar Pod II Pea is a cool season high yielding snow pea that produces on average, two 4-5 inch pods per cluster. In general, Snow peas must be picked regularly (at least every other day) to assure sweet, fiber-free pods. The Pods can be stir-fried, steamed or mixed with oriental vegetables or meat dishes. As soon as overgrown pods missed in earlier pickings are discovered, remove them from the plants to keep the plants blooming and producing longer. Enlarging peas inside these pods may be shelled and used as garden peas.  Pea pods lose their crispness if overcooked. The pods have a high sugar content and brown or burn quickly. Do not stir-fry over extreme heat.
