polski), also known as the sugar snap pea, is a cultivar group of edible-podded peas that differ from snow peas in that their pods are round as opposed to flat. The name "snap pea" is derived from the sound the pea makes when it is broken in half.
Etymology
The term "snap pea" is believed to have originated from the snapping sound the pod makes when broken. The scientific name, Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon, is derived from the Latin pisum, meaning "pea", sativum, meaning "cultivated", and macrocarpon, meaning "large fruit".
Description
Snap peas are a hybrid of garden peas (Pisum sativum) and snow peas (Pisum sativum var. saccharatum). They are characterized by their round, plump pods that are typically eaten whole, either raw or cooked. The peas inside the pod are sweet and tender, making them a popular choice for salads and stir-fry dishes.
Cultivation
Snap peas are cool-season crops that prefer temperatures between 60 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. They are typically planted in the early spring and harvested in the late spring to early summer. Snap peas require full sun and well-drained soil to grow properly.
Nutritional Value
Snap peas are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and fiber. They also contain small amounts of protein, iron, and potassium.
