Really? I had heard that the opposite was true. People have been trying to get the local natives to eat it because they have huge diabetes problems. The pods do have a high sugar content, but I thought it was a form that was not as bad for diabetics. Perhaps I am mistaken.
Well, I will have other things you can eat - palo verde seeds, processed jojoba meal, devil's claw seeds, buffalo gourd seeds, amaranth, panic grass, chia, and so on.
