The jugo bean (or Bambarra groundnut) is a member of the family Fabaceae. According to some authors it is Voandzeia subterranea, but others place it in Vigna. The plant originated in West Africa. Still a traditional food plant in Africa, this little-known vegetable has potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development and support sustainable landcare. The bambara groundnut ripens its pods underground, much like the peanut (also called a groundnut). They can be eaten fresh or boiled after drying.
