Snap pea

Edible-pod pea

The snap pea, also known as the sugar snap pea, is an edible-pod pea with rounded pods and thick pod walls, in contrast to snow pea pods, which are flat with thin walls. The name mangetout (French for "eat all") can apply to snap peas and snow peas. A snap pea named "butter pea" was described in French literature in the 19th century, but the old snap pea had been lost in cultivation by the mid-20th century.
