No. Snow peas and snap peas are not the same, although both are popular options for salads and stir-fries. Snow peas consist of a flat pod with very small peas instead. Snow peas are sweet in flavor with a crunchy texture and are used mostly in stir-fries. Snap peas consist of a rounded pod that is thicker with larger peas inside. Snap peas tend to be sweeter than snow peas. They have a crisp texture and are often used in salads or enjoyed as a snack.
