snow pea

noun

  1. A variety of the common pea (Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon), having a soft pod that lacks the fibrous inner lining of the common pea.
  2. The edible young flat pod of this plant.

Origin of snow pea

Perhaps so called because peas in general are a cool-weather crop and snow peas sown or planted in the first part of spring can be harvested early in the growing season
