What it is

Snap peas are a variety of pea with edible pods, similar to snow peas but plumper. They are a type of legume, grown from a pea plant and harvested when immature. Snap peas are typically eaten whole, pod and all, and can be enjoyed raw or cooked.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use snap peas as a fresh or frozen vegetable ingredient. They add a crisp texture and slightly sweet flavor to dishes. Snap peas are commonly found in pre-packaged produce, frozen vegetable mixes, and snack packs.

Health notes

Snap peas are a whole food and not an additive. They are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin K. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers whole fruits and vegetables to be safe for consumption. There are no specific regulatory evaluations for snap peas as an ingredient, as they are a natural food product.

Allergen info

Snap peas are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
