EDIBLE-PODDED or SUGAR PEAS (5oo%iiK 
Sugar Peas possess the tenderness and, fleshy podded qualities of a snap bean and the flavor and sweetness of fresh 
green peas. When young, the peas are not shelled but the pods are cooked like snap beans. At this stage, pods are 
stringless, brittle and succulent. Should pods develop too fast for use as snap beans, seeds may be eaten as shelled 
peas and are of the best flavor before they have reached full size. The following varieties are entirely free of fiber or 
parchment. Vines should be given support of string or brush to climb upon for best results.
