SNAP PEA

Snap pea, or sugar snap pea, is a cultivar group of edible-podded peas. Often confused for the snow pea, snap peas have more rounded pods than their thicker, flatter cousins.
Like other peas, snap peas are pod fruits. Pods of the edible-podded pea, including snap peas, do not have a membrane and do not open when ripe.
At maturity, the pods grow to around 4-8 cm in length. Pods contain three to eight peas. Snap pea plants are climbers and require pea sticks or a trellis or other support system for optimal growth. Some cultivars are capable of climbing to 2m high, but plants are more commonly around 1-1.3m high for ease of harvest and cultivation.

Nutrient-rich: Because of their Vitamin C, Vitamin K and fiber content, snap peas may help to reduce heart disease risk and improve blood pressure control, gut health, and weight loss.
Mouthful of minerals: Snap peas contain iron and manganese. Iron is important for oxygen transport and manganese helps with blood sugar support. A 100 g serving contains 26 percent of the daily recommended value of iron and 12 percent of the recommended intake of manganese.
