Entada rheedii (African Dream Seeds)

Entada rheedii, also known as African Dream Seeds, is a climbing legume (liana) in the family Fabaceae (legumes). The plant occurs naturally in tropical parts of Africa, Asia and Australia, where it forms some of the largest pods in the plant kingdom. These pods contain large, flat seeds that weigh around 15 grams each. We offer them as whole seeds – ready to use directly in your botanical projects.

African Dream Seeds also have a long history in ethnobotanical contexts, which makes the seeds valued by those who work with botanical collections, crafts or decoration. Each seed is recognised by its hard, glossy, dark brown shell, as the durable shell protects the seed for a long time. We also work with traceable origin and genuine plant material, so that every delivery maintains an even and reliable quality.
