Sugar Snap Peas encapsulate the essence of spring with their crisp, plump pods and succulent, sweet peas nestled within. Serving as a delightful blend of green pea flavor and edible-podded snap, these vibrant green vegetables boast a crunchy texture that makes them perfect for snacking raw or tossing into stir-fries. Each pod is rounded, typically about 2 to 3 inches long, and contains full-sized peas that contribute to the snap pea's signature juicy bite. Sugar Snap Peas can enliven a salad, add crunch to wraps and sandwiches, or serve as a vibrant side dish when lightly steamed and flavored with a touch of butter and herbs. Aside from their fresh taste, they are a nutritious addition to any meal, providing vitamin C, vitamin K, and fiber.
Nicolas Donck, a Belgium native, relocated to Georgia and started Crystal Organic Farm back in the mid-90's with a mission to grow healthy, organic produce. Many say he is singlehandedly responsible for introducing Atlantans to many plants of the endive and chicory varieties that were already popular in Belgium. Along the way, Nicolas helped found the Morningside Farmers Market and eventually met the love of his life, and now farm partner, Jeni Jarrard-Donck. Jeni brings an extensive knowledge of medicinal herb cultivation and usage to the partnership, making Crystal Organic one of the most well-rounded and diverse farms in the State.
