Our range of Mangetout or Sugar Snap Peas. Unlike shelling peas, their entire pods are eaten and cooked from spring to summer. The mangetout pea is an annual vegetable from the Fabaceae family, grown for its tender pods which are eaten just sautéed or raw. It is easy to sow and can be easily trained on nets or pea sticks. The benchmark among early varieties is the dwarf pea ‘Norli’, compact, early, productive, ideal for borders or containers with a simple low trellis. ‘Bamby’ is another dwarf mangetout, regular and easy, offering fine pods to harvest very young. For trained crops, the climbing pea ‘Héraut’ grows tall and produces long, flat pods, highly visible and simple to pick. 'Vroege Hendriks’, also a climbing and early variety, allows for staggered pickings, with fleshy pods perfectly suited for delicious stir-fries.Depending on the variety, height and earliness differ: dwarf types suit small spaces, climbing peas provide longer harvests. These mangetout peas prefer cool climates, a sunny but not scorching position, and a light, humus-bearing, well-drained, slightly moist soil. Watch out for aphids and powdery mildew late in the season. Tips: sow in situ from 8–10 °C; install the support at sowing time for climbing varieties; water regularly; pick very frequently to stimulate production.For further reading, also see our feature "Peas and Petit Pois: sowing, growing, harvesting in the vegetable garden"
