Weeping Pods

Though these plants appear to be wilted and dying, they are actually perfectly healthy. They are grown over most parts of Kladeon as a staple part of diets. During the spring and part of the summer, they lack their characteristic pods that will gradually grow over the summer to be ready by the end of summer or early fall. The pods that grow at the head can be picked and opened to find they are packed with small seeds that can be used in a variety of ways. They can be cooked to be softer, ground into a meal, or even cooked until they pop! The small flowers that hang from the head also give off a lightly sweet scent.
Weeping Pods, Three-Pearled Blooms, and Boulder Squash are frequently grown together, as they benefit each other.
​
Can I grow them?
You can! They aren’t too difficult to grow, however they are big plants and need room to grow tall!
​
Can I eat them?
The stalk and the outside of the pods are not that delicious, having a bit of a bitter taste, however the seeds inside the pod are delicious! They can be cooked to be softer, as when they are raw they are very hard and crunchy. They can be ground into a meal or even popped! The taste is equivalent to real world corn. The pods can also be used as feed for Csirkatrice and other livestock.
