About Snow pea
Wikipedia Article About Snow pea on Wikipedia

The snow peas are eaten before the pod inflates, whereas the snap peas are eaten when the seeds have partly matured and the pod is round.

Field peas, also referred to as protein peas, are a cultivar of P. sativum (P. sativum 'Arvense') that are grown as forage or for hay production. Cowpeas and Black-eyed peas (genus Vigna) are traditionally used in Southern U.S. cuisine, soul food, and in the cuisines of the Caribbean islands.
