Does anyone know where I can buy snow pea seeds from.

If that's not the right name for them they are grown for their pod before the actual peas develop.  The pod is plump and very sweet (not flat like mangetout).

are they like sugar snap peas? these have a plump pod and are sweet?

Aha!  that the other name I couldn't think of!!!  I've been in France too long.  Even mangetout are an extreme rarity where I live, and I've forgotten half of the varieties you can get in the UK.

Try 'Heirloom Seeds' or Thomson & Morgan

Hiya - Snow pea is another name for the sugar pod pea oregon according to the wise folk down our local allotment association. all the major seedsmen stock them.

looking at the web I think there's some confusion here - looks like snow pea can either mean a mangetout like Oregon Sugar Pod or a small round pea eaten in the pod - what do people think? the snow peas I get in wagamama are the 2nd kind i think..

These Sugarbon peas are not flat like mangetout....they get quite fat but only have teeny peas inside...it's the pods that are fat, not the peas. They are sooo sweet compared to mangetout

From WH Foods

Garden peas have rounded pods that are usually slightly curved in shape with a smooth texture and vibrant green color. Inside of them are green rounded pea seeds that are sweet and starchy in taste. Snow peas are flatter than garden peas, and since they are not fully opaque, you can usually see the shadows of the flat peas seeds within. Snap peas, a cross between the garden and snow pea, have plump pods with a crisp, snappy texture. The pods of both snow peas and snap peas are edible, and both feature a slightly sweeter and cooler taste than the garden pea. Garden peas are scientifically known as Pisum sativum.

So that's it then...snow peas are mangetout much prefer snap peas then, as that's what i've grown
