In general the immature "green" (or in this case purple) pods are OK to eat. Just don't eat any pods that are getting too old (my rule of thumb, eat them before the seed becomes obvious)
There ARE types where the mature seed is OK to eat too, but those tend to be WHITE seeded types (if you ever go to an Indian grocery store you can see bags of white ones for sale) All of the others need leaching to get the toxin out.
