Mangetout
Mangetout are flat and crisp and can be eaten young. Due to the early harvesting of mangetout, the peas in the pod are barely developed. And it is this that gives it that soft, refined taste. Mangetout resemble sugar snaps, but are thinner and less sweet than sugar snaps due to the lack of peas. Mangetout are often boiled or stir-fried briefly so that they stay nice and crisp. But the mangetout is also very tasty when stewed.
