About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A sugar pea of the Kaiserschote type, where you eat the whole flat pod young and tender. The tall‑growing plants produce abundantly for weeks and need a sturdy trellis. Harvest regularly while the pods are still flat, then they stay sweetest.
You enjoy it raw in salad or briefly sautéed: crisp‑sweet with a fresh, almost pea‑green aroma. It loses tenderness quickly when overripe.
