Ewa Oloyin (Honey Bean) seeds now available at www.trueloveseeds.com! I first learned of these delicious beans when @vivianeleokojie sent me a wonderful package of seeds of important vegetables from Nigeria. I later found them in huge quantities for cooking at one of our local West African groceries in West Philly. For the past couple of years we have been growing our original seed stock with love to acclimate them to our farm and increase them in order to share them with you. Here’s the description: Known as Ewa Oloyin in Yuruba, these sweet and creamy “cowpeas” are a staple in Nigeria where they are cooked in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes with palm oil, onion, and crawfish. They can be used to make Akara (bean fritters), Moi-Moi (bean pudding), and Gbegiri (bean soup). They are high in protein and fiber. We first learned about these and received seeds from our seed penpal Vivien Elebiyo-Okojie, a Nigerian “Entrepreneur and Food Conversationalist” living in Ohio. Also known as Oloying and Brown Bean. #seedkeeping #ewaoloyin #oloyinbeans #honeybeans https://www.instagram.com/p/CZfATp0OdhE/?utm_medium=tumblr
