Production Methods: Cultivated

Comments: The green pods are used as a vegetable in S.E. Asia. Also used as a grain food. A toxin in the grain must be removed before ingesting. The leaves appear to have a fungicide effect and could be used as part of a biological control mechanism. It can also be used as a pesticide in the control of Atta ants due to the presence of dimethyl homopterocarpin in the plant.
