SITSARO / SNOW PEASSweet pea (Pisum sativum L.), locally known as ‘Chinese pea’, ‘snow pea’, garden pea, or ‘sitsaro’, is the most expensive vegetable legumes in the country. It is grown for its edible pods or seeds. It grows very well in Benguet and Mt. Province, where the climate is cool throughout the year. Garden pea seeds contain considerable amounts of digestible protein, carbohydrates, and minerals, while the green pods are rich sources of vitamin A. Peas are grown for their green pods and dried seeds. The snow pea is the most common type in the Philippines. This group also includes the snap pea, a group of edible-podded peas that are differentiated from snow pea because of their round pods. Snap pea produces thick, full-bodied, edible pods, and sweet, full-sized peas. The pods snap when bent like fresh green beans. Snow pea generally has flat pods.
