Frozen Sugar Snap Pea

Detailed Product Description

Product Introduction                     Snap peas (also known as sugarsnap peas or mange tout) are a cultivar group of edible-podded peas that differ from snow peas in that their pods are round as opposed to flat. They get their name from the French 'mange tout' meaning to 'eat everything'; as unlike with many other varieties of pea, you can eat the peas and the pod. Snap peas are nutritious and filling, yet not as high in total carbohydrates and fats as normal peas. The pods themselves contribute mostly water and vitamins to the consumer.
The soft and tender pods of snap peas are crisp, sweet, and succulent, often served in salads or eaten whole. They may also be stir-fried or steamed. Snap pea pods may be frozen, but never canned, as the high temperatures are damaging.
