                                While some parts of the Entada genus are consumed after extensive processing, it is a significant fact that the raw seeds of species like *Entada rheedii* and *Entada phaseoloides* are toxic. Indigenous communities have developed careful preparation methods over centuries to remove toxic compounds like saponins, highlighting the importance of understanding specific species and proper handling.
