Flat, tender pods of snow peas are entirely edible — both pod and the tiny immature peas inside. Essential in Chinese stir-fries and Southeast Asian cuisine. Crisp, mildly sweet flavor. Vines are ornamental with delicate white flowers before producing their flat pods.
Plant early — snow peas tolerate cold better than snap peas. Provide a trellis or netting for vines. Harvest when pods are flat and pods fill just slightly — overmature pods lose their crispness and become fibrous. Succession plant for extended harvest.
