Sugar snap peas look like a cross between a snow pea and a garden pea. The pod is round and full, with small sweet peas inside, and you eat the whole thing. Bite one raw and it's crisp, juicy and noticeably sweet. Most pods have a tough string along one seam. Snap off the stem end and pull it down the length of the pod to take the string with it.

Ways to use it

  • Eat them raw, as a crunchy snack or cut into a salad.
  • Stir fry over high heat for a minute or two with garlic and a little oyster sauce.
  • Add to a stir fry of chicken, shrimp or tofu right at the end, so they stay crisp.
  • Blanch for about a minute, drain, and toss with sesame oil and a pinch of salt.

Storing it

Leave them unwashed and keep them in a container lined with paper towels in the fridge drawer. They taste sweetest when fresh, so use them within a few days. Rinse them under running water just before you cook or eat them.
