Can cleome seed pods be eaten/pickled?

I have cleome coming up everywhere from the seed from one bird-dropped plant from last year. Major production of flowers and pods.

I'm wondering: can the pods be eaten? If so, could they be pickled? I see stuff online about medicinal uses for cleome and also that the pods are sometimes used for treating worms, but there's not a lot of info. Anyone know?

So... Cleome/Spider-flower is a genus of about 150 species.

Cleome serrulata has seeds that can be eaten raw, or dried and used as a flour-like substance, but it's reportedly bitter af.  
Cleome gynandra - Spiderwisp  - is used as a vegetable crop. It's considered good eatin'! The tender leaves, flowers and shoots can be cooked and eaten as a cooked vegetable, akin to mustard leaves. The seeds are also fine to eat.
Cleome viscosa can be used as a topical anti-parasitic and antibiotic, and is called 'non-toxic', though eating too much of it isn't good for you.

Try to narrow down what type of Cleome you have.
Since most species are more /medicinal/, they'll have compounds that are effective at treating stuff like infections and worms, but may harm you if you eat too much.
C. gynandra is the only one I know of that's grown to be consumed regularly.

Thank you so much for this information! Now I just have to identify what I have. Here are some images, for those who may be interested. I hope this turns out to be Cleome gynandra, because it seeds very prolifically and comes up everywhere here.

Hello,
Eating too much of Cleome Viscosa's seeds isn't too good, but when is it "too much" ? Do you have a study quantifying when it's too much please ?
