Stink Bean, also known as Parkia Speciosa, Petai, Pete, Bitter Bean, Smelly bean or Twisted Cluster Bean is widely consumed in southern southeast Asia.
The beans grow hanging from a tree, wrapped in a tough outer skin of twisted pods that grow in clusters.
With a high concentration of amino acids, the nutrition packed bean has an aroma that some say could pass as methane gas but in a scrumptious sort of way!
The smell doesn't end at the meal, the scent of stink beans will follow you in a similar way that asparagus makes its comeback: well represented in your urine.
