Ice Cream Bean (Inga edulis) is a fast-growing, tropical legume tree known for its long, cylindrical pods filled with sweet, cottony-white pulp that tastes like vanilla ice cream. It can reach 10–15 m high and 6–8 m wide, thriving in full sun with well-drained soil and regular watering. Ideal for gardens, food forests, or as a shade tree, it also enriches soil through nitrogen fixation.
