Pea pods are perfectly edible (and good!). If you find them tough, you can pull the stringy fiber off the edge, but as far as I know they pose no health risks. I've eaten them all my life, and have had no troubles from my appendix.

You're referring to pea pods.
I don't know about the pods for round peas, but there are some pea pods that are in fact quite tasty, and are used a lot in Chinese food. I imagine the regular pea pods are edible too, as long as they're not too ripe.

umm is it called the pod? well i eat them, like the snow peas right? i eat the things that hold the pea, but you need to take out something before you eat it, i cook it in a stir fry, its crunchy. i think you can eat it, why do you need your appendix, doesn't really do anything, you can take it out with surgery
