Snow peas are a type of edible pod pea, known for their flat, crisp pods and sweet flavor. They are typically harvested while still immature, which allows both the pod and the small peas inside to be eaten. Snow peas are often used in stir-fries, salads, and as a crunchy snack. These peas are rich in vitamins A and C, as well as dietary fiber. They are low in calories, making them a healthy addition to various dishes. Snow peas are commonly found in grocery stores and can be enjoyed fresh, steamed, or lightly cooked to retain their bright green color and crisp texture.
