Description
Snow peas are scientifically called Pisum sativum var. saccharatum and locally known as ‘Minji’ in Kenya.
They are also known as Chinese pea pods since they are believed to have originated in Southwest Asia. They are flat with very small peas inside, harvested before the peas have fully developed in the pod and eaten raw or cooked.
Snow peas are packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, potassium, dietary fiber, magnesium, folic acid, and small levels of healthy fats. These pods are also very low in calories, with slightly over 1 calorie per pod. They also lack cholesterol, making them a filling, yet nutritious dietary component.
