Description: There are two main types. Those with edible pods which include: snow peas and snap peas; and those with inedible pods called garden (or English) peas. Garden peas have rounded pods that are slightly curved in shape, smooth and vibrant green color. Inside the pod are green rounded pea “seeds”. Snow peas are flatter than garden peas, and since they are not fully opaque, you can usually see the shadows of the flat pea seeds within. Snap peas, a cross between the garden and snow pea, have plump pods with a crisp, snappy texture. The pods of both snow peas and snap peas are edible, and both feature a slightly sweeter and cooler taste than the garden pea.
