The honey mesquite pod is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics[]

The pods grow on honey mesquite trees. Trees with pickable pods will appear bushier in foliage and have strings of pods hanging from the branches. Pods can be eaten or used in recipes and will regrow over time, upon which trees can be harvested again.
