Sugar snaps

Round, juicy and sweet: sugar snaps are eaten raw or barely cooked.

What are sugar snaps?

Sugar snap peas have a round, plump pod that is eaten whole with the peas inside. They are fleshier and juicier than snow peas.

Look for well-rounded, bright green, glossy pods that feel firm.

In the fridge, between 4 and 8 °C, in their tray, and eat them within a few days of purchase.

Rinse them and remove the little stem and the string if needed.

Raw as a snack, or 1 minute in salted boiling water then into iced water to keep their crunch and colour.
