description This document provides an overview of snap peas (Pisum sativum L., Macrocarpon group), highlighting their characteristics, cultivation practices, and culinary uses. Snap peas are edible-podded vegetables known for their crisp texture and sweet flavor. Unlike English peas, they lack a tough inner membrane, making the entire pod edible. The document discusses popular varieties like 'Sugar Snap', optimal growing conditions in Florida, and their nutritional benefits. It also offers preparation tips, emphasizing minimal cooking to preserve texture and flavor. Original publication date May 1994.
