Sugar snap peas are a crisp, sweet variety of pea with edible pods, often enjoyed raw or lightly cooked. Originating from a hybrid of garden peas and snow peas, sugar snaps are common in various cuisines, especially Asian-inspired dishes and fresh salads. They are nutrient-dense, providing a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and a variety of antioxidants that support immune health and skin vitality. Low in calories yet high in natural sweetness, they make for a satisfying snack or side dish. Being rich in protein, they can also aid in muscle repair and growth. However, their carbohydrate content should be noted by those monitoring blood sugar levels, though the fiber helps regulate absorption. Whether stir-fried, steamed, or dipped in hummus, sugar snap peas offer versatility and nutritional benefits.
