Uses

Astragalus boeticus Linn. SWEDISH COFFEE. Mediterranean region. In certain parts of Germany and Hungary, this plant is cultivated for its seeds, which are roasted, ground and used as a substitute for coffee. Its culture is the same as that of the common pea or tare. The name applied to the seeds, Swedish coffee, would indicate that it is also grown in Scandinavia.

Sturtevant, Notes on edible plants, 1919.
