When I see them in the supermarket I have always assumed they were the same. When the kids were young we grew some sugar snap and they never got to the table as the kids picked and ate them straight off the plant. Even the dog got into the act! He also liked dwarf beans!

Snow peas are flatter, with barely developed seeds; sugar snaps are plumper, with larger seeds.Both are cooked in the same way - just plunge into salted boiling water for about a minute, drain and eat hot with butter or cool with a vinaigrette.

Many thanks. So maybe not a different variety of pea just the difference in maturity!
Scroll through to find the section headed "Snow Peas, Sugar Snap Peas".:-))
