Fresh Guar Pods from Mexico
Fresh guar pods (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) are flat, edible pods harvested young, fresh or chilled, though the plant is primarily known for guar gum from its seeds. They are classified under tariff item 0708.90.00 as other leguminous vegetables, fresh or chilled, because they are not dried and are not specified elsewhere.
