ID on seed pod

When I went to fuerteventura back in November I collected quite a few seeds.
Could anyone tell me what this is?
It has a hard shell and the seeds rattle inside

 

Would it be Ceratonia (Carob / Locust), Mowgley?

 

Yes I think your right @noisette47

 

Don't look like a Carob, they got fleshy pods unless its really dried out.

You'm gonna have to grow it Mowgs

Were you allowed to bring back seeds from there?

 

I guess so
Just cracked open the seed pod with a hammer
Extracted 8 seeds

 

Got a piccie?

Bit of an expert on Carob since biting into one full of ants and spending the next 3 hours cutting up a bucket load to make sure there were no ants, took me 30 seconds to eat the resulting "toffee" but it was lovely

 

If your going to take a seed pod, at least take a picture of the tree.

 

Bit bloomin' late now Pete...

 

Carob seeds are much rounder than those in your photo.

 

I believe it to be a Flame Tree (Ponciana Regia)
Seed needs to be scarified and soaked before planting in Humic soil.
Grows a Foot a year, but will not flower until at least 12 years old

 

I'd go with Carob. November is about the time of year they are harvested here. I have loads of trees at my river property.

 

I agree with Liliana and Jazzsi, looks like Delonix Regia (Poinciana) as the seeds are longer than Carob.
More likely to be Delonix as they are a popular street and garden tree in the Canaries, more so than Carob.

 

Defo not Carob. When I lived in Cyprus used to help locals with harvest.

 

You can't make chocolate from Delonix seed pods.
Most Delonix seed pods are very long and Mowgley's shorter pod may give it a 'Carob' appearance.
