Hyacinth Beans (Đậu Ván), also known as Lablab beans, are a versatile and nutrient-rich legume widely cultivated in the fertile plains and highlands of Vietnam. At Vinahugo, we offer high-quality dried Hyacinth beans, recognized for their distinctive flat shape, creamy white or pale yellow color, and a characteristic white hilum along one edge.
