Pod veggie (3)
I believe the answer is:
pea
'pod veggie' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for pea that I've seen before include "garden plant" , "It grows in 23 Down" , "Seed eaten as vegetable" , "Climbing plant; vegetable" , "The plant is a strange ape" .)
