Sugar Snap Pea
Sugar Snap is the pea that changed everything — an AAS gold medal winner in 1979 that introduced a whole new category of vegetable: the thick-walled, sweet, crunchy snap pea whose pods and peas are both edible at their tender best. Its flavor is an explosion of fresh, sweet, green pea goodness with a satisfying snap, arguably the finest vegetable to eat raw in the garden. Steam them briefly, toss them into stir-fries, or eat them by the handful straight off the vine — few things give more pure pleasure.
