Are these seeds?

This is a question for those seed collectors out there. I was out in the garden the other day and saw that one of the radishes had these pod like growths. I have never seen anything like this before, so I was wondering are these seeds? Have you seen this before? Do you know what it is? I bet Mr. Brown Thumb knows, he's so knowledgeable of all things seeds.
At first glance I thought it was a butterfly's chrysalis, but it's not. It's actually growing from the stalk of the radish plant.

  3. It is the seed pod. The fresh seeds are edible and sometimes used to spice up salads.

    When you crack one open be sure to let us know how many seeds are inside!
