Spotlight on Snap Peas and a Stir Fry Recipe to Use Them In

Tis the season for Snap Peas.  Sometimes called Sugar Snap Peas these crispy, crunchy and oh so tasty vegetables are an awesome snack that can go anywhere with you in a pinch.

Here’s the nutrient low down that these peas bring to the game:

  • manganese
  • vitamin A
  • vitamin C
  • vitamin K
  • folate
  • iron

And on top of this, Snap Peas contain about 4.5 grams of fibre and 5 grams of protein in each and every cup.

I have just enjoyed my first batch of the season.  They were splendid raw but the next batch will go in to this yummy stir fry recipe below.  Click on the recipe card to get your copy!

Spotlight on Rhubarb (and a yummy recipe too)

Rhubarb has a short harvesting season spanning from April to June.  Its long slender stalks are the edible part of the plant.  Its leaves are toxic and thus cannot be ingested.

Rhubarb’s health benefits include its vitamin A, C, K and calcium content as well as its high fiber content.

Raw rhubarb stalks are naturally tart so it’s almost always cooked or baked with some added sweetness.

The season is short so grab some now!

Here’s a delicious, healthy recipe for you to try using this seasonal gem!
