A Guide to Some Edible Legumes of Indonesia

Resource File: 
Abstract: 
This paper is a pictorial guide along with brief prose descriptions of thirty-six varieties of edible legumes that you may encounter in the Indonesian context. Whilst in the field of agricultural economics it is common to distinguish between legumes used as vegetables (young pods, fresh seeds, and sprouts) versus grain legumes or ‘pulses’ (marketed as edible dried seeds), this guide covers both together. A final section highlights a few inedible yet well-known or easily recognizable legume species.
