Honey Mesquite Pod

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

Characteristics
The honey mesquite pod grows on a short tree with willow-like branches. Trees with pickable pods will appear bushier in foliage and have strings of pods on them, resembling a fern pattern. Pods can be eaten or used in recipes.

Like all other plants in the Mojave Wasteland, ripe honey mesquite trees found in the wasteland will eventually regrow after being picked, making them an unlimited supply of free food and healing items.

Recipes
The honey mesquite pod is used in the following campfire craftables: grilled mantis, Party Time Mentats and black coffee in the Honest Hearts add-on.
