Honey locust
📍 6 Franklin St, Richmond TAS 7025, Australia
🗓 Season: September · October · November
🔍 When is it ripe?
Long, flat, brown seed pods (up to 40 cm). Ripe when fully dark brown and slightly leathery. The sweet pulp between the seeds is edible raw — tastes like a mild molasses-honey. Seeds require cooking. Avoid pods from thornless cultivars (often bitter). Distinguished from black locust: honey locust pods are long and flat; black locust pods are short and thin.
O.K., so not 100% certain on the ID of these trees, but I have eaten the pulp from the large bean like pods that these trees produce. A compelling melon like flavour. But don't take my word for it, do your own research. According to pfaf.org Honey Locust contains potentially toxic compounds.
