Cyamopsis tetragonoloba is an annual plant from the legume family, found in semi-desert areas, primarily in sandy soils. It grows from 0.5 to 2 meters in height. Due to its gelling properties, it is used as a thickener, filler, or stabilizer in products used in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and food industries, among others. Its small leaves are elongated, oval, and arranged alternately. Both the leaves and stems are usually hairy, depending on the variety. White to bluish flower clusters grow in the axils of the plant. The developing pods are rather flat and slender. SEEDS AVAILABLE BY ORDER ONLY
