Pea, Sno (Snow)

Snow peas, also known as Chinese pea pods, are a type of pea with flat, edible pods. The pods are thin, crisp, and bright green, with small, underdeveloped peas inside. Snow peas have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a crunchy texture, making them ideal for eating raw or lightly cooked. Unlike other pea varieties, the entire pod is edible, and they are often used in stir-fries, salads, and as a fresh, crunchy side dish. Snow peas are commonly available in the spring and early summer.
