Pea pods are legumes. Snow peas are native to Southwest Asia and are occasionally referred to as Chinese pea pods or snow peas. Snow peas, as their name implies, can withstand frost and snow. Snow peas are available throughout the year, however their prime season is from spring through early winter. Pea pods have an edible pod but also contain shelling peas, so you may or may not consume the entire pod. Shelling snap pea pods is one method of preparing the legume and consuming the sweet, crunchy peas contained within. We provide premium IQF Snow Peas/IQF Pea Pods Cuts.
