Sugar Snap Beans, also known as snap peas, are a crisp, sweet legume popular in Asian and Western cuisines. Believed to have originated from the humble garden pea, these vibrant green pods combine the traits of snow peas and garden peas, offering edible pods and plump seeds. Rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin K, they support digestion, immune health, and bone strength. Sugar snap beans also provide essential antioxidants, which combat cell damage and promote overall wellness. Low in calories and virtually fat-free, they make a nutritious snack or versatile addition to stir-fries, salads, and side dishes. However, their natural sugars contribute to the sweet flavor, so moderation is key for those monitoring carb intake. Whether steamed, sautéed, or eaten raw, sugar snap beans deliver a delightful crunch and a nutritional boost to any meal.
