    10 dried Stink Bean PARKIA SPECIOSA Petai Bitter Beans Sataw สะตอ Seeds Organic.
    Is a long flat edible bean pod with bright green seeds the size and shape of plump almonds which have a rather strange smell.
    The smell is similar to, but stronger than that of the shiitake mushroom, said by some to be similar to natural gas.
    In Thai they are known as sataw (สะตอ), but you might also hear them called petai, bitter beans, stinky beans, smelly beans etc. They are popular throughout southern parts of southeast Asia.
    The bean contains Flavonoids which have benefits of having:
    Antioxidant activity and health benefits such as reduction in risk of various diseases such as hypertension, hyperbilirubinemia, stress-induced gastric lesion, hyperhomocysteinemia, cancer and atherosclerosis.
    The beans have been sun dried naturally, so they will be brown when you reveive them.
    The kernel is fine inside.
    Plant in a Sandy Loam to Clay Loam in full sun.
