dc.description.abstractThe Bambara groundnut (BGNl) (Vigna subterranea) is an Afri­can indigenous legume high in protein, low in fat and high in pheno­lics with antioxidant properties. Yet it is classified as underutilised and is unknown to consumers and national and international food baskets. Our chains of value-added products from this legume, such as bever­ages and fibres, indicates that BGN has the ability to break the cycle of poverty and malnutrition in Africa.en_US
