Did you know?
A close relative of the sword bean and highly drought-tolerant. ⚠️ Its mature seeds contain concanavalin A and canavanine, so they must be soaked and boiled thoroughly; in many places it is therefore grown more as green manure and fodder than as human food.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
