Melissa's Organic Sno Peas are hand-selected for excellent quality. Choose firm, flat fresh-looking pods. Look for very small peas that indicate pods are young and tender.

Organic Sno Peas should be bright green and flexible, but with a crisp texture. Since Organic Sno Peas are highly perishable, keep them unwashed in a plastic bag for 1-3 days.

Rinse and pat dry. Remove tiny tops from each end. Cook only for a few minutes.
