Spring Onions
Spring onions are most often utilized raw. The whole onion can be flash blanched and grilled, which brings out more the robust and sweet elements of the onions, and makes them a bolder pair for fish and meats
Iceberg Lettuce
It is the only lettuce type that does not occur in red form as well as green. Iceberg is the given name to dozens of cultivars of lettuce, all of which are adapted to specific planting regions and time periods.
Seasons/Availability
Stringless Sugar Snap™ peas are available year round, with a peak season in spring.
Description/Taste
Bright green and sweet, string-less sugar snap peas have a crisp, edible pod. Resembling miniature versions of common green pea pods, sugar snap peas are not only tender and entirely edible, but quite sweet and juicy as well.
Nutritional Value
Cholesterol-free, low in calories and easily digested, a three and one half ounce serving of fresh peas has about 45 calories. Peas provide a generous amount of calcium, plus carbohydrates, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C and iron.
Applications
Add to salads, stir-fries, serve over rice, or enjoy fresh. Briefly blanch, boil, sautee or steam. Best served fresh, if peas must be stored, keep in a perforated plastic bag. Refrigerate no more than a day or two for optimum quality. Do not wash before storing. Rinse just before use. The calyx or cap at the end may be removed, if the grower hasn't already done so.
Geography/History
Today Garden Valley, Inc. is the exclusive licensee for this delicious pea variety and is the natural successor to the Rogers Fresh Division. It was Rogers Seed who developed Snap Peas and pioneered the initial production and marketing of this extraordinary tasting pea.
