Twisty Pods / Fusillo Pods

Fusilli Pods, better known as Twisty Pods, are naturally dried seed pods derived from the Helicteres isora tree/shrub native to Asia, named for their distinctive spiral shape, resembling the classic fusilli pasta. Their unique twisted form makes them a standout botanical accent for terrariums, aquariums, and craft projects.
