Introducing Bambara Groundnut with Michael Carter (a Utopian Seed Project Meet-the-Plant series)
Channel: Utopian Seed Project
Date: 2020-07-16

Bambara Groundnut aka (Vigna subterranea) Bambara Bean is a heat loving legume from West Africa which is in the same genus as the southern pea (i.e. black eyed peas) but grows underground like a peanut! 

This video is part of a The Utopian Seed Project series called, Meet-the-Plant, where plant experts introduce you to less known plants (in North Carolina) that have food production potential.

In this video, Michael Carter, of Carter Farms (a Virginia Century farm), gives a cultural perspective on growing and eating Bambara Beans based on his time living in Ghana.
