The annual Vigna mungo, also known as Black Gram, Urad Bean, Black Matpe, and Black Mung Bean, is a crop that can grow in many different kinds of weather. Its young seed pods and seeds can be cooked. Even the leaves are tasty. The seeds are used as a poultice on abscesses in traditional Chinese medicine. The soap-like properties of seed flour come from the presence of saponins. Since the plant can absorb and use nitrogen from the air, it is sometimes used as a green manure crop.

Every seed variety undergoes organic cultivation and self-testing on our South African, Botswanan, Zambian, and Tanzanian farms. Our commitment lies in offering a diverse selection of organically grown, open-pollinated, Non-GMO seeds, proudly produced and acclimated locally.

Before planting, please verify the conditions in your area suitable for the specific seed type. Growth rates and germination times hinge on various factors like soil conditions, rainfall/watering patterns, climate, and more. The outcome of growth and harvest may be influenced by these conditions.
