SNOW PEAS

Snow peas, also known as Chinese peas, are in season from May to September. Look for delicate fresh green, thin pea pods. Refrigerate and use within a day or two. To prepare, just rinse in cold water, carefully stem and string the pods (do not shell). Cook as for ordinary peas and eat pod and all, as a cooked vegetable or in recipes for Chinese dishes.
