PEA and the

PEA. It's entirely edible-pod and all. Sugar snap
PEAs are available during spring and fall. Choose plump, crisp pods with a bright green color. Refrigerate in a plastic bag for up to 3 days. Sugar snap
PEAs should be served raw or only briefly cooked in order to retain their crisp texture. See also
