Yes - most amazing one was only 5 days post pollination when I accidentally knocked it off. Matured the pod on a paper plate in a window sill.
But I wouldn't expect that from a pod with a stalk that rotted off - this one snapped off a healthy stalk.

Never throw pods away because you think they've not had time to mature.
Seed have sprouted here from pods that were only three weeks old when
the stalks collapsed. In one case the seed were still white and very
crinkled. Only six sprouted out of the hundred seed, but I've enjoyed
the baby ribbon pink seedlings that resulted. Another pod had more
mature looking seed and all germinated. Linda has had even earlier success.
