The sugar snap pea is native to the Mediterranean region, although it has been cultivated in Latin America for some time.
It is characterized because the pod that covers its seeds is tender, green, smooth, shiny, and flat. It measures between 4 and 8 cm, and protects several very small seeds inside; this allows the sugar snaps to be consumed whole, including pod and seeds. Its flavor is exquisite, sweet, and crunchy.
