Features edible leaves pods and flowers that can be eaten raw or cooked and added to stews, soups or as a side dish. The dried seeds are also used as a coffee substitute. They contain nutraceutical properties and are high in tannins. Note: Take care not to over-consume.
As with most medicinal plants, over consumption leads to more of a
problem than a solution due to toxins. Consult with an experienced natro
doctor before considering the medical use of this and/or any natural
medicine. I am not a doctor and cannot offer medical advice.
