Pea Oregon Sugar Pod (Mangetout) – Snow Pea Variety
Product Description
The Pea Oregon Sugar Pod (Mangetout), sometimes referred to as the Snow Pea, is a highly popular and versatile variety perfect for both beginner and experienced gardeners. This exceptional plant produces heavy crops of large, slightly curved, flat pods that are completely stringless when young, making them tender, crisp, and delicious.
A favourite in Asian cooking, these peas are ideal for salads, stir-fries, and light steaming. Their sweet, fresh flavour is most pronounced when eaten shortly after harvest, as the natural sugars begin converting to starch over time. Eating the pods raw delivers a crunchy, nutritious snack straight from your garden.
The Oregon Sugar Pod is also rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins A, B, and C, contributing to a healthy diet while offering a satisfying taste experience. Frequent picking encourages continuous production, helping you extend your harvest season and enjoy fresh peas for longer.
This variety is compact and space-friendly, reaching just 100cm tall, making it perfect for pots, containers, and small gardens. Despite its compact size, it produces an abundant crop and shows strong disease resistance, making it a reliable and low-maintenance choice.
With a Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit (AGM), the Pea Oregon Sugar Pod is recognised for its quality, productivity, and exceptional flavour. Seeds typically germinate quickly, with harvests available 68–70 days after sowing, ensuring a rewarding gardening experience.
Each packet contains approximately 35 seeds, and detailed growing instructions are provided on the back for best results. Immediate dispatch is included with your order, and the price covers P&P. All seeds are carefully inspected before packing to guarantee quality, although packet designs may occasionally vary.
Experience the joy of growing your own Pea Oregon Sugar Pod (Mangetout) and enjoy freshly picked, sweet, and tender pods straight from your garden, perfect for healthy meals and family-friendly dishes.
