Dragon's Tongue Beans -- Shelled or Whole?

[mbounds]

This is my first season planting Dragon's Tongue Beans, and they've been a blast to grow... easy crop with some great coloration. I've read in various places that Dragon's Tongue Beans are shelling beans, and in others that they are edible pods. If any of you are growing this fun heirloom, how do you like to use them?
