Default Re: Snap peas/ snow peas

There's been much discussion about these two veggies in the past, and I think it's been decided that since you're eating mainly the pod, (even though yes you're eating the peas, the bulk of what you consume is the pod) both sugar snap peas and snow peas probably belong on the list of induction veggies in the "other veggies" category.

However, since they are higher in carbs (like pumpkin or squash or onions) be especially aware of any possible blood sugar spikes, cravings, hunger, etc. they might cause if you have an insensitivity or intolerance.

Snow peas are flat and somewhat stringy:


Sugar snap peas are round and much sweeter:
