Peas and Beans

How does a sugar pea and a sugar snap pea differ?

Sugar peas are flat podded English peas developed to be stir fried or cooked while the seed is undeveloped. Sugar snap peas are English peas which retain a fleshy pod wall after the seed has developed. Sugar snap peas are used like green beans.
