Description
Pea Sugar Snap (Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon) is the iconic 1979 All-America Selections winner that set the standard for snap peas. Celebrated for its extraordinarily sweet, juicy, and crunchy thick-walled pods, it is enjoyed whole—pod and all—raw or cooked. Growing on vigorous, highly productive 5- to 6-foot vines, it yields heavy crops of plump, bright green pods over an extended harvest season. An essential garden staple for fresh vine snacking, salads, stir-fries, steaming, and freezing.
