What Is Shimer Bichi (Dried Bean Seeds)?

Shimer Bichi is the dried, mature seed of Lablab purpureus — also known internationally as hyacinth bean, lablab bean, Egyptian kidney bean, or field bean. It is a different species from Phaseolus vulgaris (the common bean used for kidney, pinto, and French beans), though both belong to the broader bean family. In Bangladesh, the fresh pod vegetable is called “Shim,” and its sun-dried seeds — Shimer Bichi — are used as a protein-dense pulse in traditional dal, curries, and meat-substitute dishes.

As with many dried legumes (including raw kidney beans, which require thorough cooking to deactivate natural lectins), mature Lablab seeds should be soaked and properly cooked before eating. This is standard preparation practice for the bean and worth noting on packaging or in usage instructions for buyers unfamiliar with the product.

Why Source from Chattogram, Sylhet & Noakhali

Chattogram, Sylhet and Noakhali sit within Bangladesh’s fertile riverine belt, offering favorable soil and climate conditions for legume cultivation. Agrinofy sources through contracted farmers in these regions, sun-drying the seeds to preserve flavor and nutritional integrity before a multi-stage cleaning, grading, and hand-sorting process.
