podded

Housed in husks

Podded describes something enclosed in or having pods—the elongated seed cases of legumes like peas and beans.

Podded peas need shelling before cooking.

The term also applies to things housed in pod-like compartments: podded engines hang beneath aircraft wings in separate housings.

As past tense, it means having produced or removed pods: The beans have podded nicely this year.
