Pea Snap Sugar 4 Sizes Available
Pea Snap Sugar represents a watershed moment in vegetable breeding—since its 1979 introduction, this variety has fundamentally redefined snap pea expectations across North American gardens and kitchens. This great variety is an All American Seed Selection. The distinction lies not merely in sweetness, though the sugar content substantially exceeds standard snow peas and garden varieties, but in the synergy between crisp, tender pod walls and the plump, fully-developed peas within. This textural contrast creates an eating experience that justifies the variety's iconic status. The edible pod design eliminates waste entirely—gardeners harvest, rinse, and consume the entire structure raw or lightly cooked. The pods maintain their structural integrity through brief cooking, resisting the mushiness that compromises inferior varieties. Raw consumption showcases the true flavor profile: a clean, pronounced sweetness balanced by subtle herbaceous undertones and a satisfying snap that signals peak freshness. Sugar Snap's open-pollinated genetics enable reliable seed saving, allowing gardeners to perpetuate superior plants across seasons and build locally-adapted populations. The vines exhibit vigorous growth with moderate vigor—tall enough to benefit from trellising yet manageable in compact spaces. Maturation occurs in approximately 60 to 70 days from direct seeding, with successive plantings extending the harvest window through spring and fall seasons. These Non-GMO seeds provide substantial planting capacity for both home gardens and small-scale market operations. The variety's proven performance, exceptional flavor profile, and culinary versatility have secured its position as the benchmark snap pea against which all others are measured. Whether enjoyed fresh from the vine, added to stir-fries, or featured in composed salads, Sugar Snap delivers consistent excellence that explains its four-decade reign as America's preferred snap pea.
