edible pea pod
Edible pea pod
An edible pea pod is a tender green pea pod eaten with its seeds, either raw when crisp or briefly cooked.
About Edible pea pod
An edible pea pod is the tender, green pod of a pea cultivated for eating with its seeds, rather than a mature, dry pea pod intended only for its seeds. The pod is crisp when fresh and has a mild, sweet, vegetal flavour. Depending on the pea type and maturity, the seeds inside may be small and flat or more developed.
Edible-podded peas are commonly eaten raw when tender or briefly cooked, and are sold fresh or frozen. Some types have a fibrous seam that may be removed before cooking. The name can cover more than one edible-pod type, so nutrition comparisons should account for maturity, seed development, and whether the pod is measured raw or cooked.
