what sort of vegetables are sugar snaps?

Sugar snap peas.They are usually eaten raw in a salad.

Answer 2

There are several cultivars of snap peas, including 'Sugar Rae', 'Sugar Bon', 'Sugar Ann', and 'Sugar Snap'. The plants are climbing, and pea sticks or a trellis or other support system is required for optimal growth; they are capable of climbing to 2 m high but are more commonly grown to around 1-1.3 m for ease of harvest. The snap pea is a cool season vegetable, and can tolerate light frost when young; it also has a wider adaptation and tolerance of higher temperatures than some other pea cultivars.

The soft and tender pods of snap peas are crisp, sweet, and succulent, often served in salads or eaten whole. Also, they may be stir-fried or steamed. Before being eaten, snap pea pods may need to be "stringed", which means the membranous string running along the top of the pod from base to tip is removed
