The Pacay Seed Pods have been grown in Peru and dried out for your fun, they come in the plain or painted design and the sizes will slightly vary but loveliness comes as standard. The painted ones have a woven loop at the top so they can be hung up when you are done making music with them. In some parts of Mexico they remove the seeds and roast them and sell them as snacks, however, these seed pods are not edible, just for fun purposes.
