  I’m also growing a few drought-tolerant crops and have seen clear results. I learned a lot from this video, thank you so much for sharing!

  It’s cool to see this, as I am actually growing the majority of them. My favorites are pigeon peas, sorghum and cassava.

  I really appreciated the detailed explanation of the Tepary bean&apos;s deep root system; it’s incredible how it survives where others fail. Given their resilience, how do you think we can better integrate these &quot;desert warriors&quot; into modern commercial farming to improve global food security?

  The guar or cluster bean, with the botanical name Cyamopsis tetragonoloba is another good option for hot climates. <br><br>Leaf is edible, legume pods is mainly consumed. Guar gum is extracted from the seed endosperm, has plenty of industrial and food additive use.

  I know amaranth is KNOWN to the public - it is sold as a flower called LOVE LIES BLEEDING which is a specific form of &quot;weeping&quot; amaranth with blood-red flowers/seeds. &nbsp;It is not just an ornamental variety - it can be used in just the same way any amaranth variety can be used.
