- Remove the tough 'string' along the edge of the pod before cooking for a better texture.
- Pair with a healthy fat like sesame oil or olive oil to help absorb fat-soluble nutrients.
- Add them at the very end of a stir-fry to maintain their signature crunch and color.
- Store them in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator to keep them crisp for up to a week.
GAYA Tracking Tip
When logging snow peas, photograph them spread out on your plate so GAYA can accurately estimate the quantity. If they are part of a stir-fry, specify if any oil or sauces were used.
