Sugar Snap Peas

Description Fresh Sugar Snap Peas are in great supply. These edible-pod peas are meant to be eaten--cooked or raw--with the pod intact. Sugar snaps were created in the 1970s as a cross between the snow pea and green pea. They have plump edible pods filled with extremely sweet and tender peas. Selection: Sugar snaps should be bright green, plump, and firm; the pod should tightly encase small peas. Avoid limp or yellowed sugar snaps. Break a pod in half to see if it snaps crisply. A pound of peas in the pod will yield about 1 cup of shelled peas; a quarter pound of sugar snaps will usually be sufficient for one serving as a side dish.
