Edible-pod peas (Pisum sativum L.) include the types of peas variously referred to as snow peas, sugar peas, and China peas (P. sativum var. saccharatum), and the sugar snap type (P. sativum var. macrocarpum). All of these peas are eaten as whole tender pods without shelling. This fact sheet addresses soil requirements, cultural practices, pest control, harvesting techniques, grading and packing.
