Snow Peas

Buying Tips

Snow peas can be found in the produce section of most health food stores, specialty markets, and supermarkets. Look for brightly colored, crisp pods that have fresh-looking leaflets and small seeds.

Varieties

Snow peas, like all peas, are a type of legume. The edible, flat pods contain five to seven seeds and can reach a length of two to three inches. Snow peas are available year round, and are especially abundant and fresh in the spring and summer.

Preparation, Uses, & Tips

Just before using, pinch off the ends and rinse the peas in cold water. Wok-fry them with shiitake mushrooms, red sweet peppers, carrots, and sesame seeds, or combine raw snow peas with grapefruit slices and mixed field greens.

Storing

Use as soon as possible, or store in a plastic bag, refrigerated for up to three days.
