			'''''Apios americana''''', sometimes called the '''hog peanut''', '''potato bean''', or '''groundnut''' (but not to be confused with other plants sometimes known by the name [[groundnut]]) is a [[perennial plant\|perennial]] [[vine]] native to eastern [[North America]], and bears edible [[bean]]s and large edible [[tuber]]s. It grows to 3-4 m long, with pinnate [[leaf\|leaves]] 8-15 cm long with 5-7 leaflets. The [[flower]]s are red-brown to purple, produced in dense [[raceme]]s. The [[fruit]] is a [[legume]] (pod) 6-12 cm long.

			The tubers are crunchy and nutritious, with a high content of [[starch]] and especially [[protein]]. The plant was one of the most important food plants of pre-[[Europe]]an North America, and is now being developed for [[domestication]].
