trees. Petai are exported in jars or cans, pickled in brine.

AKA: petai, bitter bean, sataw, twisted cluster bean, yongchaa, yongchaak, zawng ah or stink bean
Parkia speciosa
Stink Bean Tree
Petai has earned its nickname 'Stink Bean' because its strong smell is very pervasive. It
lingers in the mouth and body. Like other beans, Petai beans have complex carbohydrates can also cause strong-smelling flatulence.

Yongchaak
Depending on the country of origin they may be labeled ''Peteh'', ''Petai'', ''Yongchaak'','' Zawngah'',
''Sataw'', or ''Sator''.
Petai is a beautiful large tree of the genus Parkia in the family Fabaceae. Petai leaves
are delicate multi-pinnate lacey looking similar to Monkeypod leaf. Leaves have feathery appearance due to small leaflets. Leaves alternate, compound, with 2-5 pairs of glossy
leaflets.
The Petai tree can grow to about 90 feet (30 meters). Parkia speciosa Hassk. is a Southeast Asian legume of the Mimosae
subfamily, attains a height of 1530 m and diameter of 50100 cm, and grows at elevations of up to 1,500 m, with best performance from 500 to 1,000 m.
Stink Bean Tree
Petai bears long, flat edible beans with bright green seeds the size and shape of plump almonds
which have a rather peculiar smell, characterized by some as being similar to that added to methane gas. Like asparagus, Petai contains certain amino acids that give a strong
smell to one's urine, an effect that can be noticed up to two days after consumption.

Sator Tree |
Petai beans are popular in Laos, southern Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia, and northeastern India,
and are an acquired taste.

![Petai young inflorescence Parkia speciosa](http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/7_Heads/Trees/IMG_4620Parkiaspeciosa-petaiinflore.jpg)
The Petai tree bears flowers in a light-bulb shaped mass at the end of long stalks. The flowers secrete a nectar that attracts bats and other pollinators. The tiny flowers mature
and die. Long, twisted, translucent pods emerge in a cluster of 7 or 8 pods. When Petai pods are mature, within them will reside the petai beans or seeds. Flowers bat-pollinated,
seeds smell of garlic, very popular and fruit/seeds sold in markets.
White flowers borne in heads hanging from stout green stalks up to 50 cm long. Pods hang down from heads in
bunches.
|
![Petai beans or seeds](http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/7_Heads/Trees/P_speciosa_seed_002.jpg)
Petai beans or seeds look like broad beans. Like mature broad beans, they may have to be peeled before cooking.
They are best when combined with other strongly flavored foods such as garlic, chili peppers, and dried shrimp, as in "sambal petai", or added to a Thai curry such
as Thai Duck Green Curry. When young the pods are flat because the seeds have not yet developed, and hang like a bunch of slightly twisted ribbons, pale green, almost
translucent. At this stage they may be eaten raw, fried or pickled.
|
![Petai](http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/7_Heads/Trees/Parkia_speciosa_pods.jpg)
Young tender pods with undeveloped beans can be used whole in stir-fried dishes. In Manipur, a north-eastern state of India, the seeds or the bean as a whole are eaten by
preparing a local delicacy called ''Iromba'' or ''Yongchaak singju''.
When dried the seeds turn black. In Indonesia, Patai is very popular in the highlands of Java, Sumatra, especially among
Batak, Minangkabau and many other people in different cultures of the island.
Seeds are also dried and seasoned for later consumption.

We accept online
payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only
acceptable for in-person payments and cash-on-delivery
(COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the mail.
![](http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/7_Heads/Gif%20Images/Butterfly-03-june.gif)
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING
RULE WILL CAN BE USED. Late or Multiple PayPal payments are
NOT eligible for any discount.
We will ship once a

opportunity. Non-paying bidders may receive negative

is not included in this offer.

Discounts Won Auctions
![](http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/7_Heads/Gif%20Images/volcano.gif)
For 2-3 winning

and Handling charges.
For 7+ winning
auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
![](http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/7_Heads/f820757a.gif)
As
each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it
does calculate out the discount (i.e.: additional items)
My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied
selection. Domestic S/H includes postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for
prompt delivery. I can't really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it is hard to discount
much as each different species requires it's own prep, packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected
then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on
the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, 2-3 days to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day
we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes
the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

Before you purchase |
After you Receive
your Items. |
When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it. It is your responsibility to know how to care
for the plant. Do some research before they arrive or seek experienced help.
Small plants need protection from many things, wind, sun, dry-out. They do well just in the garage or living
room. They need good light but not sunlight (full sun will burn small plants). Small pots dry-out easily. Just sitting in a shallow tray of water works
well. The idea is to keep the plants from dehydrating.
Be careful if you decide to re-pot.
Re-potting voids any warranty. Plants are easily damaged with new/different mix. Use NO fertilizers (this may kill your plants).
Proper care is critical upon arrival.
Live Plants are NOT GUARANTEED
to survive under your care. DO NOT expect any live plant to be GUARANTEED to remain alive. Plants are NOT GUARANTEED TO SURVIVE after you begin Care! Live arrival is guaranteed,
eternal survival is up to you.
IF YOU are NOT able to provide PROPER CARE, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT plant to be GUARANTEED after it perishes.
NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.
Please Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it arrived damaged. If you repot your plant after delivery, all warranties are voided and no replacement is offered. All
photos must be as arrived in original condition as received (in the box and packed as delivered).
If repotted, you are responsible for the condition of the plant.
NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.
Not every plant that I grow survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there is no way to know what kind
of conditions it will endure in the trip to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered to your door.
You are agreeing to these terms when you make this purchase from this listing.
|
LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE.
There is the risk when you grow plants that they may die.
LIVE PLANTS are PERISHABLE, guaranteed not to live forever.
US orders ONLY are
GUARANTEED
for LIVE ARRIVAL
. All International orders are shipped at the BUYER's
RISK!
From delivery confirmation, you have only 48 hours from delivery confirmation to make any claim.
All claims need to be supported with Photos of the damaged plant(s) as packed/unpacked, the box if damaged, the packing materials and any documents.
I am very reasonable and understanding, anything can happen to small plants in transit, for this reason uninsurable.
The expense to send it to you is most of your payment. To send any replacements, I try to piggy back with your next order.
Replacement is not an option for CUSTOMS SEIZURE.
ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE SHIPPED USDA CERTIFIED WITHIN THE U.S. - USDA and USPS fees
are included in the actual cost of shipping and Handling.
Please do not leave a 1 or 2 in my detailed seller ratings for postage fees or any
reason really because I will block you from any further purchases.
Please contact me before eBay if you have any issue. I am the one
who can help you. Do not open any case for any reason really because I will block you from any further purchases.
I ship items the best and least expensive option. These are coming from Hawaii.
The only thing inexpensive here in Hawaii are my items!! I do ship all my items promptly via best method. If you feel
like the combined shipping fee is wrong, please wait to be invoiced and check back with me! I value your business and
will work diligently to keep you satisfied. I am very generous and reasonable with reasonable people, just ask.

Rare Seeds
Fresh Highest
Quality
When you receive your seeds, you have only 7 days to make any claim. Once planted, seeds can NOT be returned
and no refund is offered. All seed sales are final. There are no germination guarantees.
Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised. Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be
replaced at seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements, refunds, returns and exchanges will be
made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as proper
planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and
reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and
contamination of planting media. These factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Consequentially,
the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes..
