Description
PRODUCT  NAME
Snow pea (Pisum sativum var. saccharatum) is a legume, more specifically a variety of pea eaten whole in its pod while still unripe. Sugar snap pea (Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon) is a cultivar group of edible-podded peas that differ from snow peas in that their pods are round as opposed to flat. The name mangetout (French for ‘eat all’) can apply both to sugar snap peas and snow peas.
Common varieties are Snow peas- Oregon and sugar snap- Cascadia and Super sugar.
ORIGIN
It is one of the earliest-known cultivated plants, with evidence of having been cultivated in a region that is now along the Thailand–Burma border, 12,000 years ago. They are now grown locally in central Kenya, upper eastern and in Rift valley.
DESCRIPTION
The pod walls should be a translucent mid green – dark green in color. The peas should be fresh succulent crispy and not stringed, straight to very slight curve in length. Fresh peas have pH of 6.45 -6.8 and water activity 0.85-0.90.
Sizes: snow peas – 50-105mm, sugar snap- 45-75mm in both cases without calyx and tail.
The snap peas should be juicy with a minimum brix of 12o.
The peas should be free from internal and external decays and from progressive defects e.g. dehydration and pitting, blemishes, pest damage marks and soil splash. They should be free from taints and foreign odour, chemical deposits
NUTRITIONAL VALUE
Snow peas provide vitamins A and C, iron and potassium.
