Peas bear masses of pods loaded with sweet-tasting seeds that can be eaten raw or cooked, and used in salads, stir-fries and as a traditional accompaniment to meat dishes. The sweetness of peas quickly diminishes after picking, so it's best to eat them as soon after harvesting as possible.

Sugar snap peas should be harvested just as the peas are starting to develop. The whole pod is edible and deliciously sweet – use in salads and stir fries.

Pisum sativum 'Sugar Ann' is a fantatsic sugar snap pea, bearing fleshy, sweet-tasting pods from early in the season. Sow seed regularly between March and June for an extended crop. Don't be tempted to harvest immature pods as they have very little sweetness. For the sweetest tasting pods, harvest them when they are large, just as the peas are starting to swell.
