Vegetable
Oregon Giant
A tier
Oregon Giant produces extra-wide snow pea pods that look impressive on the plate and in punnets—sweet when harvested before seeds swell. Related Oregon breeding pedigree emphasises pod size and garden performance. Texture stays crisp if not overmature. Showcase whole pods in stir-fries; string carefully on large pods. A showy snow pea for markets. Same flash-cook rule as other snow types.
