Snow peas, also known as sugar snap peas or Chinese pea pods, are a versatile legume widely used in East Asian cuisines and beyond. Originating from the Mediterranean and later cultivated in Asia, they are identifiable by their flat, edible pods containing small, tender peas. Snow peas are low in calories and packed with nutrients, including vitamins C and A, fiber, and antioxidants, which support immune health and improve digestion. They are also a good source of plant-based protein and contain folate, essential for cell growth and repair. These crispy, mildly sweet pods are often stir-fried, steamed, or enjoyed raw in salads for a refreshing crunch. While their high water content makes them hydrating and easy to digest, their natural sugars can slightly raise blood sugar levels, so moderation is advised for those monitoring glucose intake. Snow peas are an excellent choice for nutrient-dense, wholesome eating.
