Sugar snap peas are sweet, crisp, and delicious eaten straight off the plant. They are similar to snow peas, but are slightly fatter and rounder. Snow peas can be blanched and then cooled quickly in icy water to set the bright green colour and crisp texture before adding to dishes. They are delightfully versatile, and can be added to almost anything from soups, salads, stir-fries, or eaten as a crudite.
