Bambara Groundnuts. Bambara Beans. Okpa. Jugo Beans. Goober Beans. Cousins to the black-eyed peas, these nutritious, drought-tolerant legumes are ok with high temperatures and poor soils. Native to West Africa, it far predates the Brazilian peanut (also called groundnut) on the continent. It is high in protein and carbohydrates and contains many important minerals making it a complete diet. It can be eaten as a fresh or dry bean, and made into flour or nut milk. It is fairly difficult to find seeds for this crop in the US. Roughwood Seed Collection shared seed for this variety (“Speckled Bambaras”) a few years ago. We have a few packets left for this year, and will be listing more for 2019 shortly! www.trueloveseeds.com #speckledbambara #bambaragroundnut #bambarabeans #jugobeans #okpa #gooberbean #vigna #vignasubterranea #seedkeeping https://www.instagram.com/p/Brg1Hk8lZuG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12c0xpvnb8zmc
