What is Sugar Snap Pea?
Sugar snap peas are a hybrid of green peas and snow peas, known for their sweet flavor and edible pod. They are often eaten raw or lightly cooked and are popular in salads, stir-fries, and as a crunchy snack. Sugar snap peas are a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and other essential nutrients. However, their FODMAP content can vary, and it's important to consider portion size for those following a low FODMAP diet.
