How do I cook baby snap peas?
Before offering entire pods to your infant, wait till he or she is 18 months old and has some teeth. Even yet, if the inside peas are consumed, they can pose a choking hazard. To reduce the danger, squeeze the pod to shatter the peas (while still serving them whole) or slice the pods.
How do you season raw snap peas?
Season the sugar snap peas with salt and pepper. Other ingredients, like thyme and garlic powder, can be added. As you sprinkle the spices on the sugar snap peas, try to coat them evenly.
Are snap peas a healthy snack?
Snap peas are high in vitamin K, which helps maintain your skeletal system’s strength.
Vitamin K aids in the processing of calcium and its incorporation into bone cells. This can aid in the prevention of bone disorders such as osteoporosis and bone fractures.
Why are my sugar snap peas tough?
When snap pea pods grow overly ripe, they will naturally turn woody or tough (late Spring for most County gardeners, a little later in West County). This is a frequent issue.
You should pick them as soon as the peas are ready. Waiting slightly longer risks producing harder, woody pods.
