Vigna subterranea
(ground bean or earth pea)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigna_subterranea

Vigna subterranea (also known by its common names: Bambara nut, Bambara-bean,[2] Congo goober,[2] earth pea,[3] ground-bean,[2] or hog-peanut[2]) is a member of the family Fabaceae. The plant originated in West Africa (the Bambara peopleare found in southern Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Senegal). Vigna subterranea ripens its pods underground, much like the peanut (also called a groundnut). They can be eaten fresh or boiled after drying.

[Edit: Ah ha - I have]

 

[Morning Glory]

Yeah - Xigua seeds is what I have.

They are a rich source of proteins, vitamins, omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, magnesium, zinc, copper, potassium and more. These seeds are high in calories though, so you need to mindful of your portions. One cup of roasted watermelon seeds contains roughly 600 calories.
