Description
Mange-Tout Peas, also known as edible-pod peas or snap peas, are a variety of peas where both the seeds and the entire pod are consumed. Originating in Asia, these peas are widely cultivated in Europe and Latin America due to their sweet flavor and crunchy texture.
In Latin American Spanish, mange-tout peas are often called arvejas capuchinas, guisantes de vaina, or simply flat green beans, depending on the region. They are versatile in the kitchen, ideal for stir-fries, salads, and as a side dish for their freshness and vibrant color.
From a nutritional standpoint, mange-tout peas are low in calories and rich in dietary fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals such as iron and potassium. Their consumption provides digestive and antioxidant benefits, making them a healthy option to enrich various recipes.
