- English peas, also known as garden peas, green peas, and shell peas, grow on a vine in non-edible pods and are larger in size compared to snow and sugar snap peas.
- Snow peas produce edible, flat, stringless pods containing small peas than English peas and are slightly tender with a crispy sweet taste. The pods are translucent bright green and are thin, crisp, and crunchy.
- Sugar snap peas offer a sweeter flavor, produce a thick edible pod, and are large full-sized peas.
