Thanks for posting, this will help with identification. Given that there are so many similar species of Ingas; are there any substantial differences in the flavor of each one?

Out of the ones I have tasted, Inga edulis is my favorite. The pods are super long and the pulp is very moist and sweet.

That is a good question. I'd like to find out as well. Is it the Inga Uruguensis (Inga Vera)?

It's quite possible that cinnamomea is mislabeled.  Inga cinnamomea suppose to be one of the bigger, meatier and better tasting among those species.

No,it's not mislabeled. That was the last pod of the season, so not usual size. They are usually about twice that size.

To answer everybody's taste questions. The fastuosa i still didn't get to taste. They were very high up on the tree and i thought they were ready, but not really filled out.  :'( :'( Really neat looking pods, with a velvety texture.  The spectabilis i've had for many years now and they are great tasting, huge pods, and lots and lots of pulp, so they are really great. The cinnamomea tastes good but the pulp sticks to the seed, and that's not so great, in my opinion.

Thanks for the information on the three ingas. I have this inga labelled as I.Vera, but I'm not sure, could someone positively identify from the young leaves, old pod and seeds? Thanks. F.

I am growing Inga uruguayensis, grown from seed from a tree in Montevideo, in Northern California.  It's a slow/weak grower.  On the other hand, I've grown several other Ingas -- Inga spectabilis (seed from Oscar) and some unknown Ingas and they all -- especially Inga spectabilis -- have been vigorous.  In unprotected spots here, in Zone 10a, they get a bit of cold damage in the winter but bounce back quickly in Spring.  The funny thing about it is that Inga spectabilis was a slow grower initially, but then took off once it got a bit bigger.

It's quite possible that cinnamomea is mislabeled.  Inga cinnamomea suppose to be one of the bigger, meatier and better tasting among those species.

that Inga congesta they have looks awesome. Smaller pods but the foliage looks interesting.

Yes, i saw those when visiting Brazil. The foliage is very interesting because the leaves are very ruffled and folded. But the pods are very small. I did not get to eat them, but would guess there is very little to eat, so more of an ornamental plant.
