Pod is slit down the side to reveal the seeds. The seeds are enclosed in a thick slimy gelatinous membrane. They are not fun to peel lol. You need to get it all off before planting especially indoors or you will run across mold issues. I also rinsed them in a little bit of soapy water and then under the faucet after taking the membrane off. Some people like to eat the membrane part. I tasted some and it was pretty pleasant.
