Edible Uses

The following uses are for the closely related C. arborescens and can probably also be applied to this species. Seed - cooked. Small but produced in abundance, there are 4 - 6 seeds per pod. A bland flavour, it is best used in spicy dishes. The raw seed has a mild pea-like flavour, though we are not sure if it should be eaten in quantity when raw. The seed contains 12.4% of a fatty oil and up to 36% protein, it has been recommended as an emergency food for humans. Young pods - cooked and used as a vegetable.
