The Bambara groundnut (BGN) or Vigna subterranea is an extremely
hardy grain legume. As it produces reasonable yields even under
conditions of drought and low soil fertility, it is also a
climate-smart crop. Previously underutilized, BGN is the subject of
growing interest among researchers and consumers for its balanced
nutritional profile. Indigenous consumers of BGN report medicinal
benefits from the plant; however, such knowledge is at risk of
being lost with the urbanization and changing lifestyles of younger
generations. To date, there is no comprehensive resource on the
Bambara groundnut, despite market demand for plant proteins around
the globe. Authored by scientists who have researched and developed
patents using BGN, Bambara Groundnut: Utilization and Future
Prospects aims to fill this gap. The text provides in-depth
coverage on breeding, food and feed utilization, medicinal benefits
and future research prospects. Drawing on both indigenous knowledge
and cutting-edge research, Bambara Groundnut is the first book to
fully explore the potential of this remarkable crop.
