What it is
These are whole, frozen sugar snap peas. They are selected for their quality and have no added seasonings or sauces. The freezing process helps to preserve their natural crispness and flavor.

To cook these frozen sugar snap peas, you can steam them directly from the freezer. Place them in a steamer basket over boiling water and cook for a few minutes until tender-crisp. Alternatively, you can boil them in a small amount of water for a similar duration. They can also be added directly to hot dishes like stir-fries or soups during the last few minutes of cooking to heat through. Avoid overcooking to maintain their texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh sugar snap peas, these frozen ones are pre-portioned and ready to use, saving preparation time. They also offer a consistent texture and flavor year-round, as they are frozen at their peak. The freezing method helps retain their natural sweetness and snap.
