Inventory, 10 lbs : 7.03
This item was last sold on : 01/28/23
Description/Taste
Stringless Sugar Snap peas have bright green pods with thick walls that average 8 to 10 centimeters long. The smooth, shiny pods are straight to slightly curved and encase a single row of plump green peas. The pods offer a firm, crisp texture that is crunchy and juicy. Within are 6 to 8 round, tender peas that offer a sweet, slightly nutty flavor. Stringless Sugar Snap pea pods, young vines, leaves and flowers or pea tendrils, are also edible.
Seasons/Availability
Stringless Sugar Snap peas are available year-round, with a peak season in the spring and summer months.
Current Facts
Stringless Sugar Snap peas are a hybrid variety of the snap pea, botanically classified as Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon. There are many named ‘stringless’ cultivars that lack the thick fiber running along the seam of the pea that must be removed prior to consumption. The ‘Sugar Ann,’ or ‘Sweet Ann,’ cultivar was named after the daughter of Calvin Lamborn, the man who created the snap pea. Other cultivars include ‘Sugar Sprint’ and ‘Sugar Daddy.’ Many growers prefer the stringless variety for its customer appeal, as it cuts down on preparation time.
Nutritional Value
Stringless Sugar Snap peas are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, and fiber and a good source of manganese, vitamin K, potassium, iron, and essential B-complex vitamins riboflavin and thiamine.
Applications
Stringless Sugar Snap peas are versatile and can be enjoyed both raw, blanched and cooled, or cooked. Serve whole on crudités platters or as an appetizer paired with cream-based dips and cheeses. Cut in half and add to green, pasta or grain salads. Cut into bite-sized pieces or julienne for a raw salad or slaw. Stringless Sugar Snap peas are used whole in stir-fries, soups and sautés. Often, they are simply tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper and sautéed or roasted. They can be braised alongside beef, duck, and poultry and pair well with shrimp, chiles, Asian flavors, corn, radishes, Mediterranean flavors, garlic, lemon, nuts and fresh herbs. Top pizzas, avocado or hummus toast or crostini for hors d’ouerves. Stringless Sugar Snap peas can be pickled to preserve or stored in a bag in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Ethnic/Cultural Info
Sugar Snap peas were awarded All-American Selection Gold in 1979. In 1984 the Stringless Sugar Snap pea ‘Sugar Ann’ earned its own All-American Selection recognition. Dr. Calvin Lamborn continued to develop new snap pea crosses and varieties with bold colors like purple and honey gold or yellow with purple mottling. He was tending to his fields in ‘Magic Valley’ or Twin Falls, Idaho, up until his death in 2017.
Geography/History
Stringless Sugar Snap peas were derived from a cross between a thick shelled English pea and a snow pea developed in the late 1960’s by Dr. Calvin Lamborn of the Gallatin Valley Seed Company in Twin Falls, Idaho. The first snap peas were bred to be exceptionally sweet with less fibrous and edible shells and were first introduced in 1979. Stringless Sugar Snap peas grow best in areas with temperate climates with cooler growing conditions and mild summer temperatures. The climbing vines grow best when trellised and are primarily cultivated in California and Idaho in the United States, Australia, Europe and South America. Stringless Sugar Snap peas can be spotted at most grocers year-round and at farmer’s markets in the late spring and summer months.
