Pea: Royal Purple Snow
Couldn't load pickup availability
This is our deepest purple snow pea! These richly colored peas are mostly deep purple with the occasional green pod. They are best harvested while young. They bend and curl, giving each pod a unique look.
Beautiful 3–3 1/2" snow pea pods. The flavor is pleasant, though they can be mildly bitter. They make a great addition to salads or as an edible garnish. For the most intense color, use them raw, but they can be lightly steamed or sautéed. They stay purple if lightly cooked, but they can become "muddy" if overcooked. The 2 ft, pink-flowered vines produce two pods per node. Because they are shorter, they need little to no staking.

Peas do well when it's cool (think spring & fall). For the highest yields, make sure they have a trellis to climb. This ensures more of the plant gets sun. Continually harvest ripe pods to increase the harvest time. If saving for seed &/or soup, leave the pods on the vines until they dry & the seeds (peas) become hard.
