as long as they dont start to rot, i've found splitting the pods keeps them from getting moldy (they just dry out)
like any other (questionable) veg, cook it first, get it up past 140ยบ. Sickest I ever been was from a friggen raw "questionable" cucumber. Yeah, cucumber.
Cucumber?? Dang thats crazy lol. Alright guys I will split it open tonight and have a look see. It's a red scorpion, or a brain strain...
