EDIBLE-PODDED 
or SUGAR PEAS 
Cook like string beans 
Sugar Peas possess the tenderness and fleshy 
podded qualities of a snap bean and the 
flavor and sweetness of fresh green peas. 
Pick pods when peas are beginning to form 
and cook like snap beans. When young, 
pods are stringless, brittle and succulent. 
Should pods develop too fast for use as 
snap or string beans, seeds may be eaten 
as shelled peas. Vines should be given sup- 
port of string or brush for best results.
