Plant Fact: The Heart-Shaped Lucky Charms Found Floating at Sea.

Sea Hearts (Entada gigas) have enormous seeds, which are among the largest in the plant kingdom—the largest legume seed in the world!

These seeds can float on ocean currents for years, allowing them to disperse across vast distances, sometimes even between continents.

The plant’s long, woody vines can grow up to 30 meters in length, climbing high into the forest canopy.

Its often heart-shaped seeds have uses in traditional medicine and as lucky charms in various cultures.
