Husks. This word in Luke 15:16 describes really the fruit of the carob. It belongs to the locust family. This tree is common in Syria and Egypt: it produces pods, shaped like a horn, varying in length from six to ten inches, and about a finger's breadth, or rather more; it is dark brown, glossy, filled with seeds, and has a sweetish taste. It is used much for food by the poor, and for the feeding of swine.
