Kentucky Coffeetree
The seed pods of the Kentucky Coffee Tree are thick and leathery, measuring between 5 to 10 inches. They contain three to nine seeds each, with each seed measuring 1.5 to 2 cm long. The pods make a rattling sound when they are immature and sway in the wind. The seeds are toxic when raw, but they can be roasted and used as a coffee substitute. Info From American Gardener.
