Snow peas
are so tender and delicate that they are eaten shell and all! Snow peas
are wider and thinner than other peas and best served crisp - either
blanch them or lightly stir-fry. Green beans , whether common (French)
beans or runner (climbing) beans, are slender and crisp. You can tell a
good bean if it snaps easily when broken. Look for bright, blemish-free
beans. Peas are sweet and delicate in flavor and can be used in a great
variety of dishes. Look for peas with bright green, shiny pods.
