【Fresh Arrival】Sugar Snap Peas/Honey Peas, 300g

Sugar snap peas, also known as sweet snap peas or snap peas, are a type of edible pea characterized by their thick pods and rounded shape, with the entire pod being edible. The origin of sugar snap peas can be traced back to 19th-century Europe, but the modern sugar snap pea was developed in the 1970s by Dr. Calvin Lamborn in Idaho, USA, through hybridization. Nutritional Value Sugar snap peas are highly nutritious. Each 100 grams of sugar snap peas contains about 6-8 grams of sugar, which is lower than many common fruits and vegetables. They not only provide a moderate amount of sugar to help maintain energy levels but also, due to their low-calorie and high-fiber content, are very suitable for a healthy diet. The sugars in sugar snap peas are primarily in the form of glucose and fructose, which are easily absorbed by the body. Storage and Cooking The freshness of sugar snap peas is crucial for their taste. The pods should be clean, juicy, and undamaged. For storage, avoid contact with pests or spoiled food to maintain optimal quality. In terms of cooking, sugar snap peas can be prepared in various ways, such as stir-frying, roasting, or adding to salads. A common method is to mix them with olive oil and roast until they become crisp-tender. Due to their unique taste and rich nutritional value, sugar snap peas have become an important part of many healthy diets.
