Discover the intrigue of Water Caltrop nuts, an extraordinary and sought-after bat looking pod cultivated for many reasons. Encapsulating an otherworldly appearance, the fruit pods of Trapa bicornis boast two distinct downward-curving horns, evoking the likeness of a bull's head or, as some describe it, the winged silhouette of a bat. Often referred to as bat nuts, devil's pods, ling, or horn nuts, these pods carry an air of mystique and allure. These seeds, also known as Devil Pods, Batnuts, or Goat Heads, derive their monikers from their spiky and enigmatic aesthetic.
