Sugar snap peas are a type of edible pod pea that is known for its sweet flavor and crunchy texture. They are a hybrid between snow peas and garden peas, and both the peas and the pods are eaten. Typically, they are bright green and can be enjoyed raw in salads or cooked in various dishes. These peas are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as dietary fiber. They are low in calories, making them a healthy snack option. Sugar snap peas are usually harvested when the pods are plump and tender, ensuring the best taste and texture for consumption.
