pod vegetables
Vegetables in Pods. 1  American groundnut (apios Americana): Grows on a perennial vine in eastern North America, producing edible beans and tubers. 2  The tubers are crunchy and nutritious; high in both starch and protein. 3  Soft and floury when cooked, with a mild and slightly sweet flavor.
1 Green beans: No list of vegetables would be complete without the green (or string) bean. 2  These long green pods taste great raw, sauteed, blanched or lightly steamed, and even roasted. 3  No garden or refrigerator should be without some! 4  Green peas: Grown in pods, green peas typically mature in an oblong green shell.
