Notes

Snow peas and sugar snap peas are similar in looks and taste but they’re not interchangeable. Snow peas have flatter pods and are a bit more delicate, while sugar snap peas are larger and a bit sweeter. You can sometimes switch them out for the other in recipes but you'll need to adjust for taste and cooking times.
