Descriptions

Our Black Eye Beans (Vigna unguiculata) are grown in the Boeny region of Madagascar and harvested between April and June. The beans are carefully harvested, dried, threshed, sorted, and inspected to ensure consistent quality that meets international trade standards.

The grains are characterized by their white color with a distinctive black center, a neutral, slightly earthy aroma, and a mild flavor, developing a creamy texture after cooking. Thanks to rigorous moisture control and sorting, this product meets the requirements of B2B companies seeking reliable and traceable pulses.
