A snow pea. Well, that's okay. Stir-fries! No shell peas?
you can eat the whole pod, but it isn't a pencil shape, it's more flat with the pencil along one edge. i'm really not sure of the naming convention with peas...
Snap peas weren't around when I started gardening. Developed in Idaho and now, all over the world.
With 3 quite different fresh types, I am happy with peas. Unfortunately, DW doesn't have much of an interest in dry, split peas but, I suppose, they aren't really much like the fresh.
i like them about any way! those pods and fresh peas often don't make it out of the garden in any way other than my tummy...
