Supplier ref. 03774 · quoted September 7, 2026
Snow pea is quoted at $38.00 / 10LB case in the week of September 7, 2026. That is the lowest wholesale quote we recorded that week from the single New York distributor we track — not a market average, and not an official terminal quotation. The quote covers one 10LB case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

About Snow pea
Snow peas and sugar snaps are effectively an import line for New York: our reference has them arriving from Guatemala and Peru, with California and Long Island appearing occasionally. They are hand-picked and flown in, which ties their cost to freight as much as to the field. English peas in the pod are a different case altogether — they appear irregularly in our series and are not an item to build a fixed menu around.
Buying notes
Snow peas and sugar snaps run in ten pound cases, while English peas in the pod come in twenty-five pound with ten and five pound packs also carried. Because the pods are hand-picked and air-freighted, a supply problem at origin reaches the quote quickly rather than working through over a season.
