Snap Peas

Sugar! Snap! Peas! This is one crop that will forever taste better straight from the farm in the spring than in any grocery store. On the off chance you can resist snacking on all your peas before they get to your kitchen I’m going to give you a couple tips about what to do with these precious spring treats! Being that sugar snap peas are one of life’s simple pleasures, preparing them should also be simple.  Eat them as snacks with dips (maybe nettle pesto, spinach mint feta dip?). They go great in salads or lightly sautéed in butter with lemon!  Because we’re just as obsessed with cooking as we are growing food, we only select stringless pea varieties, so there’s no need to string or trim the peas you get from Growing Lots!
