I believe the answer is:
legume
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">a pod</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that legume is a type of pod)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for legume that I've seen before include "A vegetable for e.g. mule" , "Glue me (anag) - climbing bean or pea plant" , "Bean or pea, for example" , "pulse" , "Bean, pea etc" .)
