An annual climber often reaches 10m in length. Mucuna pruriens has trifoliolate leaves, broadly ovate leaflets, axillary purple flowers, pendulous racemes, curved pods, black and ovoid seeds, 4-6 in a pod.

The seedpod has a hairy surface that contains mucunine and serotonin causing severe irritations to the skin. That is why the plant has its scientific name, pruriens in Latin means “irritation”. These hairs were used to kill unsuspecting people in Africa by stealing them onto the victim’s food, which died then from internal bleeding as the sharp hairs caused injuries in the stomach and intestinal lining. These hairs make harvesting and handling very difficult until the seed is husked and polished.

The seeds of Mucuna contain a high level of L-dopa (10%) but they are also rich in saponins, alkaloids, carbohydrates, protein, fiber and lipids. It is an ideal plant for muscle builders; the high L-dopa percent keeps blood cholesterol and sugar at optimum level.
