Frozen Snow Peas from Mexico
Frozen snow peas (Pisum sativum var. saccharatum) are unshelled flat-podded peas frozen whole for stir-fries and Asian cuisine. Classified under HTS 0710.21.40.00 as 'other' frozen peas, they retain their pods unlike green peas. This covers non-organic varieties prepared by steaming or blanching prior to freezing.
