Sugar Snap Peas, Snow Peas or Green Peas?
Different markets may use similar pea names for different frozen products. Before quotation, GreenLand-food confirms whether your order needs sugar snap peas with pod, snow peas, shelled green peas or another pea pod product.
| Product Type | Key Feature | Suitable Buyer |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar Snap Peas | Whole edible pod, thicker pod, naturally sweet, crisp texture | Foodservice, retail packs, stir-fry, ready meals |
| Snow Peas | Flat edible pod, thinner than sugar snap peas | Asian cuisine, stir-fry, retail frozen packs |
| Green Peas | Shelled peas without pod | Retail vegetables, ready meals, mixed vegetables |
| Pea Pods | Pod product, specification varies by market | Foodservice and Asian food channels |
| Customized Pea Products | Size, pod type and packing adjusted by buyer requirement | Private label and industrial processing |
This product refers to IQF frozen sugar snap peas with pod. If your order needs snow peas or shelled green peas, we should confirm a separate specification, quotation and product document set.
We confirm the exact pea product type before price comparison, because sugar snap peas, snow peas and shelled green peas have different raw material cost, processing method, size standard, packaging plan and target application.
Size Grades and Stringless Processing Options
Stringless processing is important for eating quality and customer experience. For retail and restaurant programs, double stringless sugar snap peas can reduce fibrous mouthfeel and improve product positioning.
| Grade / Option | Suggested Specification | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Grade A Large | Length 40-90mm, thickness max 13mm | Foodservice, retail packs, premium frozen vegetables |
| Medium Grade | Length 40-85mm, thickness max 12.5mm | Restaurants, ready meals, frozen vegetable blends |
| Smaller Grade | Length 40-80mm, thickness max 12mm | Processing, mixed vegetables, cost-control programs |
| Single Stringless | One side string removed | Foodservice and standard retail demand |
| Double Stringless | Two side strings removed | Premium retail, restaurant chains, ready-to-cook products |
| Customized Sorting | As per buyer's specification | Private label, central kitchen, recipe development |
