Peas
Peas are legumes harvested for their tender seeds or edible pods and include several varieties with different textures and uses. Common types include garden peas, snap peas, and snow peas. Garden peas are harvested for the sweet, round peas inside the pod, while snap peas and snow peas have edible pods and are often eaten whole. Fresh peas have a naturally sweet, grassy flavor and are especially good when eaten soon after harvest.

Choosing
Choose peas and pea pods that are bright, crisp, and firm. Garden pea pods should feel plump with well-developed peas inside. Snap peas should be crisp and firm with smooth, bright pods, while snow peas should have flat, tender pods with small developing peas. Avoid pods that are limp, yellowing, spotted, or dried out.
