Usage examples
  • The green pea is grown for shelling, the peas being frozen, canned or eaten fresh. The other two strains are the snow pea and the sugar snap pea, which are known as `edible podded peas because they do not have the same fibre in the wall as the common garden pea, and so can be eaten whole.

  • the progeny of a cross between a snow pea and an unusual pea which was tightly podded with thick walls. The result is a pea which breaks or snaps like a green bean; the pods have thick walls, and are sweet and edible except for the strings. Unlike the snow pea, the sugar snap pea is allowed to mature and become fully rounded ... closely related to the common garden pea, so their culture is similar in many respects.
