SUGAR SNAP PEAS


This is a fairly new variety. They look like miniature English peas,have bright dark green pods, and are chock full of medium-sized peas. UnlikeEnglish peas, which have inedible pods, but like the snow peas, every bitof the sugar snap is usable. They are also excellent when eaten raw. Sugarsnaps are available twelve months of the year and usually sell for pricesthat are comparable to the going rate for snow peas. While they have yetto be accepted by the Oriental trade as a substitute for snow peas, thesugar snaps are very popular with Western customers. Although there is littlesimilarity in appearance, eggplant, peppers, white potatoes, and tomatoesbelong to the same botanical family that is known as the nightshade.
