Pacay

Inga feuilleei

Pacay, also known as the ice-cream bean, is a tropical fruit native to Central and South America. It belongs to the legume family and is known for its unique texture and mildly sweet flavor. The fruit's pod contains a soft, cotton-like pulp surrounding black seeds, which are edible and have a taste reminiscent of vanilla ice cream. Pacay is not only delicious but also rich in nutrients, making it a valuable addition to diets in regions where it grows. Its soft pulp is often eaten raw, while the seeds can be roasted or ground into a flour for baking. Pacay is also celebrated for its sustainability, as it helps improve soil fertility and provides shade for other crops.
