Sugar Snap Pea Seeds (Edible Pod Type) Heirloom Vegetable. An edible podded pea with a flavour and texture that tastes as terrific raw as it does cooked! This AAS ‘All-Time Winner’ has round pods with thick walls that snap like a snap bean when bent. The 120-180 cm (4′-6′) high vines are best supported on a trellis or fence – which just makes the pods all the easier to eat straight from the vine.
