bilby commented on the word mung beans!
"The Food and Agriculture Organisation's chief technical adviser in Kabul, Samuel Kugbei, said: "We have been waiting all day to see these dangerous materials brought from Helmand and now we see that they are just mung beans!
The pulses also fooled General Khodaidad Khodaidad, Afghanistan's Counter-Narcotics Minister, even though they looked nothing like poppy seeds. The beans were introduced into Afghanistan about 10 years ago and have been embraced by farmers as a second crop.
They are also delicious with rice, Dr Kugbei noted."
