Description: Inga edulis ~Pacay~ Ice Cream Bean Inga feuilleei Harms ~Monkey Tamarind~ Venezuela to El Salvador Mimosaceae Synonyms: Inga sapindoides Inga laurino Inga edulis Family: FABACEAE Inga feuilleei is a legume tree native to Central and South America. Commonly known as Pacay or Ice-Cream Bean, contains pods of fruit often cultivated for its edible white pulp surrounding large seeds. You are bidding on * live seedlings with vigorous root systems * inches tall with * leaves born and growing in a small pot for ease of transplant. Tropical fruits of Guatemala, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador used by the Maya for thousands of years. Fruits and nuts have always been part of Mayan diet, however, this tree 15 meters is described as a species new to science. Most Mayan house gardens have fruit and nut trees surrounding the homes. most frequently used as coffee shade in El Salvador and western Guatemala. Many Mayan milpas the fruit and nut trees are not cut down when the rest of the forest is slashed and burned. So fruits, nuts, and the soft flesh of seed pods such as Inga species have been a part of Mayan diet for a millennium. Pacay fruit, notice the seed inside the fruit, the whitish and soft goo is the tasty edible part of the fruit. Inga fruits are offered in local markets. You eat the white fleshy part covering the green and red seed. It is sweet and tasted a little like Christmas. This is the seed of the edible Ice Cream Bean, after you have eaten the white fuzzy part surrounding the seeds. The black outer coating is called the testa. In Guatemala the locals cook the seed thing too and throw them in beans or eggs. This vigorous, ebullient legume forms a dense, wide-spreading umbrella crown with handsome, bright green, glossy, coarsely pinnate foliage that is distinguished by its prominently winged rachis, or leaf stalk. Huge, heavy, swollen, multi-ridged, bean-like pods protect a cache of slightly sweet, white, creamy, high-protein pulp, the taste of which is likened to vanilla ice cream and which is considered a delicacy by some, particularly children. Semillas de Pacay are these long green pods. Wait until you to see the tree they come from. These are a delicious local fruit called Semillas de Pacay. The pods hold a row of seeds which are coated by a fluffy, light and sweet substance that resembles a marshmallow pocket. On little marshmallow pocket per seed. The little marshmallow pockets are wonderful, light, sweet and probably very healthy. I recommend them on their own, and I plan to try working them in to fruit salads and maybe smoothies as well. To me they tasted like fluffy honeysuckle. My daughter said they are like light bananas. The green beans are hard as a rock-like solid legumes. The green inner part you fry up with salt and lemon and is like a huge lima bean. They must be boiled until they are soft, and can then be consumed with salt and lime. The taste, absent the salt and lime, is very mild and bean-like as you would expect. They were pleasant, and delicious with the salt and lime. There you go….Ice Cream Bean, one of many awesome new natural food wonders in Central America. Pacay, aka many other names in neighboring countries, only grows in the lower elevation areas of Central America.

If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the discount (i.e.: additional items) My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied selection. Domestic S/H includes postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I can't really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it is hard to discount much as each different species requires it's own prep, packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, 2-3 days to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand. Before you purchase After you Receive your Items. LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE. There is the risk when you grow plants that they may die. LIVE PLANTS are PERISHABLE, guaranteed not to live forever. US orders ONLY are GUARANTEED for LIVE ARRIVAL . All International orders are shipped at the BUYER's RISK! When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it. It is your responsibility to know how to care for the plant. Do some research before they arrive or seek experienced help. Small plants need protection from many things, wind, sun, dry-out. They do well just in the garage or living room. They need good light but not sunlight (full sun will burn small plants). Small pots dry-out easily. Just sitting in a shallow tray of water works well. The idea is to keep the plants from dehydrating. Be careful if you decide to re-pot. Re-potting voids any warranty. Plants are easily damaged with new/different mix. Use NO fertilizers (this may kill your plants). Proper care is critical upon arrival. Live Plants are NOT GUARANTEED to survive under your care. DO NOT expect any live plant to be GUARANTEED to remain alive. Plants are NOT GUARANTEED TO SURVIVE after you begin Care! Live arrival is guaranteed, eternal survival is up to you. IF YOU are NOT able to provide PROPER CARE, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT plant to be GUARANTEED after it perishes. NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT. Please Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it arrived damaged. If you repot your plant after delivery, all warranties are voided and no replacement is offered. All photos must be as arrived in original condition as received (in the box and packed as delivered). If repotted, you are responsible for the condition of the plant. NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT. Not every plant that I grow survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there is no way to know what kind of conditions it will endure in the trip to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered to your door.

Once planted, seeds can NOT be returned and no refund is offered. All seed sales are final. There are no germination guarantees. Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised. Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be replaced at seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements, refunds, returns and exchanges will be made at the sole discretion of the seller. Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes.. Ma ha lo & A l o h a ! ! 7_heads Store
