PEAS
The farm grows three different kinds of peas: snap, snow, and shelling. They are quite different and are eaten and cooked differently but they all sure are sweet! They also all can be eaten raw. The snap peas are plump and you cut off the stem and pull off the string attached to cook. The snow pea is flat and only needs the stem trimmed to eat. The shelling peas are more plump than the snap peas and you do not eat the pod. Instead you take the individual peas out to eat (these are the peas used in split pea soup).
QUICK IDEAS: Trim and place in a bowl on the tables for everyone to snack on; toss in a stir fry; make a veggie dip and include on the vegetable platter.
