peapods
Edible seed casings
Peapods are the elongated green casings that contain peas, the edible seeds of the pea plant.
Some varieties have tender, edible pods—snow peas and sugar snap peas are eaten whole.
Others have tough, fibrous pods that must be shelled: She sat on the porch shelling peapods into a bowl.
