Snow peas feature pale green pods with tiny, flattened peas inside. Pods are around two to three inches in length and are wide and flat. Peas and pods are both edible and have a sweet pea flavor and a soft yet crunchy texture. Peas grow from white or purple blooms; at this immature stage, both the leaves and blossoms of the snow pea plant are edible.
Snow peas are a key ingredient in asian cuisine, where they are frequently used in stir-fries, fried rice, and noodle dishes. Their crunchy texture and fresh flavor pair perfectly with soups, curries, and meats cooked in a thick sauce. Snow peas can also be eaten fresh in salads and spring rolls, or on a crudité platter. The flavor and texture of this adaptable pea pair nicely with shrimp, scallops, cashews, citrus, soy sauce, sesame, butter, fine noodles, and tofu. Due to their high sugar content, caution should be exercised when cooking snow peas, as they brown more quickly than other pea kinds.
Snow peas are a type of pea that is eaten whole, in the pod. Snow pea pods are less fibrous than ordinary pea pods, making them more tasty and less wasteful. These pods are very nutrient-dense. These peas are popular in Chinese cooking and can be found in most grocery stores and import shops. They're easy to make and may be eaten as a protein-rich snack or added to a variety of meals. The young plant's stems and leaves are stir-fried with garlic and sometimes with crab or other shellfish in Chinese cuisine. Peas were also regarded sacred and royal by the Egyptians, as evidenced by their discovery in pharaohs' tombs.
