Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon
Very early, edible-podded, dwarf sugar pea.
Very early, erect, dwarf plants 18" tall produce amazing numbers of 3" pods in groups of two to three. Ready to pick 58 days after seed is sown. CULINARY HINT! Eat entire pods; pick when peas are just forming. Prepare like snap beans. The sweet pods are delicious stir-fried or cooked just a few minutes so that they remain crisp.
- To determine when to pick shell peas, check the pods by eye and feel. If the pea pod is round, has a nice sheen, and is bright green, it is ready. If the seeds have made ridges on the pod and the pods are dull green, it is past prime.
- You can pick snap and snow peas at any time but are tastiest when the pods still have some play around the peas when you squeeze the pods.
- Pick snow peas before the peas start to enlarge.
- If harvest exceeds immediate fresh use, you can freeze peas immediately after harvest to retain rich flavor. Blanch peas for two minutes in boiling water, drain, and then plunge into ice cold water for another two minutes. Drain again and loosely pack the peas into plastic freezer bags or containers. Use within 9 months for best quality.
- Peas can also be dried in a dehydrator and stored in a sealed canister for use in soups and stews.
