You could try it. I don't think you'll suffer any harm, but I think you'll
find those posds are not very pleasant to eat.

it really depends upon the variety of pea.

some pods are great and best used well before
the seeds inside develop much at all. others are
good later and as the pods fill out and the seeds
get plump.

and then there are others that the peas are
best left to get fully formed and dried down so
the peas can be cooked into soups.

some peas are good in all forms.


Maybe not as I've never seen them sold commercially, canned
or frozen, still in the pods.

Are those pods food or fertilizer for the next year?

They could be composted.

worms will take care of 'em. i keep worms here
and they will compost pea pods from the previous summer
by the following spring.
