Snow Pea
Snow peas are a type of edible pod pea, scientifically known as Pisum sativum var. saccharatum. They are characterized by their flat, green pods that contain small, immature peas. Snow peas are typically harvested while the pods are still tender and before the peas inside fully develop, making them sweet and crunchy.
These peas are commonly used in various dishes, especially in Asian cuisine, where they are often stir-fried or added to salads. Snow peas are low in calories and a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as dietary fiber, making them a healthy addition to meals.
