Castor beans, or the Castor oil plant (Ricinus commonis) seeds aren"t true beans. They contain 60% triglycerides (ricnolein) They also contain ricin in low concentration. The seeds are VERY deadly to dogs. It takes as many as 3 beans to poison a small child and as many as 8 to poison a healthy grown adult.
Brazil is the #1 grower of Castor oil plants in the world, mostly for production of castor oil, and as a source of biodiesel fuel.
Supplies of seed in the US are usually in short supply resulting from a very limited demand.
