It bears long, flat edible beans with bright green seeds the size and shape of plump almonds which have a rather peculiar smell, similar to, but stronger than that of the shiitake mushroom, due to sulfur-containing compounds also found in shiitake, truffles and cabbage.","gbif_id":2943936,"image_thumbnail":"https://treescape.app/media/plant_species/images/thumbnails/parkia_thumbnail_ogQ0KOU.jpg","image_large":"https://treescape.app/media/plant_species/images/large/parkia_thumbnail_lMCpEWk.jpg"}
