I got a few bags of unpodded peas today, I figured they'd make a tasty soup. I wonder, though, if it's worth throwing the whole things in. The pods taste nice, they're actually sweeter than the peas themselves, it's just that they're quite fibrous, which I guess is the main reason they're not usually eaten. Any thoughts? I don't want to die.

Ever heard of mange tous or sugar snap peas?

They might be too fiberous to eat but you can use them to make stock.

If they're tender enough though then go for it.
