snowpea
Flat crunchy legume
A snowpea is an edible-pod pea with flat, tender pods eaten whole before the seeds fully develop.
Unlike shelling peas, the pod lacks the tough inner membrane, making the entire thing crisp and sweet.
Snowpeas appear frequently in stir-fries and Asian cuisine: Toss the snowpeas in at the last minute so they stay crunchy.
