Last reviewed August 2026. Windows are editorial ranges for a normal year, not a published schedule, and they are export weeks out of the origin rather than arrival weeks in your market.

Snow peas and sugar snaps out of the Guatemalan highlands are grown for the Northern Hemisphere winter, when no temperate producer has them. The window runs through the months either side of the new year.

They are also the most perishable thing on this page. Snow peas lose quality within days of picking, ship under tightly controlled temperature and are the classic case for airfreight. What goes by sea does so on short lanes with a buyer who has done the arithmetic — and on those, the transit is the entire specification.
