About Sugar snap pea

Sugar snap peas are a crisp and sweet legume, originating from a hybrid of snow peas and garden peas. A popular ingredient in Asian, Mediterranean, and Western cuisines, they are enjoyed raw, steamed, sautéed, or added to salads and stir-fries. Packed with nutrients, sugar snap peas are a great source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and antioxidants that support immune function, bone health, and reduce inflammation. They are low in calories and contain no cholesterol, making them an excellent choice for weight management and heart health. Their natural sweetness comes from simple carbohydrates, but these are balanced with a low glycemic index, which helps regulate blood sugar levels. Sugar snap peas also provide a moderate amount of plant-based protein, ideal for vegetarian and vegan diets. With very few unhealthy aspects besides potential pesticide residue (if not organic), they are a nutritious, versatile snack or meal addition.
