Sugar Snap Pea

Also called sugarpea, this delightfully sweet pea is a cross between the English Pea and the Snow Pea. It's entirely edible-pod and all. Sugar snap peas are available during spring and fall. Choose plump, crisp pods with a bright green color. Refrigerate in a plastic bag for up to 3 days. Sugar snap peas should be served raw or only briefly cooked in order to retain their crisp texture.
