Morphology

edible-podded + pea

The meaning 'a pea whose pods can be eaten' is directly derivable from the constituents: 'edible' (able to be eaten) + 'podded' (having pods) + 'pea'. The hyphenated compound follows a productive, compositional English pattern (and similar constructions exist in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows the parts should understand it.

Etymology

Edible-podded pea combines edible and podded to give a clear picture: it is a pea with a soft pod that you can eat. That's why it means 'a pea whose whole pod is safe and tasty to eat'.
