One of the great delights of growing your vegetables is picking the freshest best tasting food possible and snap peas are right at the top of the list. As soon as pods are picked, the natural sugars they contain begin to turn to starch, so no shop bought peas will ever taste as sweet. The long, succulent, remarkably sweet pods can be eaten whole and used boiled, blanches, steamed, or stir fried, as a hero ingredient or side dish. Plants are compact and high yielding, ideal for smaller plots, containers or raised beds. A good source of vitamin C, vitamin K and vitamin B1.
