Sugar Snap
S tier
Sugar Snap is the original famous cultivar that defined the class—tall vines, thick sweet pods, and a revolutionary eating experience in the late 1970s. Strings present; peel them for best texture. Flavour is candy-green and juicy. Grow on tall mesh; pick when rounded and glossy. The name brand of an entire pea style. Still grown for true original character.
