Vicia palaestina, also known as the Palestine vetch, is a type of flowering plant in the Fabaceae family. It is found in various countries in the eastern Mediterranean region, including Greece, Turkey, and Iraq. Archaeological evidence suggests that its seeds were consumed by Neanderthals in Israel. Unlike other vetch species, the seeds of Vicia palaestina are safe to eat and can be consumed raw.
