Veggie of the Week: Sugar Snap Peas!
Each week I'll post a new veggie along with information on nutritional value, how to cook it, and at least one recipe using that veggie. Then we can all add on to the thread with our experiences with that veggie, recipes we like, and more! When the week is up, I'll transfer the thread to the FAQ and the recipes to the recipe forum. Remember, if you add a recipe, try to include at least the number of servings and the nutritional information, if you can. :thanks:
************************ This Week's Veggie is: Sugar Snap Peas! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4..._snap_peas.jpg Personally, I'm not a big fan of regular peas. :p But I've grown to love peas in the pod (thankfully, they have a lower GI than regular peas). They have tons of fiber; sugar snap peas also have a significant amount of potassium and vitamin C. They are in season here right now and available at our local farmer's market. Yum! Quote:
