Crunchy, green, with a bit of sweetness, sugar snap peas add just the right amount of flavor, color and texture to any dish! The best part about them is that one serving contains nearly 100% of your daily recommended allowance of vitamin C—which is essential to the production of collagen and elastin. These two substances are key to any beauty driven diet. Peas are also rich in vitamin A, which promotes healthy cell growth, and vitamin K, an antioxidant that that protects skin against damage by free radicals.

When shopping for sugar snap you want pale green pods that are firm, to the point that if bent they will snap! Though you could just as easily eat these raw and on their own, here are a few easy recipes to try out!
