The Pea Snap Cascadia, 'Pisum sativum', is the best snap pea since Sugar Ann! The pods and the peas are edible. They have a much better taste than store bought peas. Snap peas came on the scene in the 70's and just like snap or green beans, the pods and all are consumed. Cascadia has 3 inch deep green, thick, juicy pods that are very flavorful. They can be served raw with dip, steamed or stir-fried.
