The fact that this plant has lower toxins than common vetch and has yields comparable to common vetch suggests this plant has high potential as an alternative food crop. I'll try to acquire some seeds of this plant species by Fall of this year.
I'm trying to import an expensive little packet from France.
What's your source in France? I'd be interested in looking at it in Germany.
Morfydd, to answer your question directly, as I should have, I ordered from B & T World Seeds.

In practice it was difficult because I'm a busy person and usually squeeze in a quick shop spontaneously when I ended up with a few spare minutes on the way home from work. It was impractical to carry tubs, jars etc... on foot to and from work on the off chance I might get a chance to pop in.
So think carefully about how you will support a spontaneous visitor, and encourage them. I felt fairly unwelcome the few times I tried to turn up without a container of my own.
These businesses also tend to do well if they are partnered with other essential groceries. For example, can you position yourself next to a really good butcher, or farmers market type place? You both benefit from the increases trade that the other draws in.

I actually just got around to shelling my first (tiny) harvest of bladdernuts! .
So what do they taste like? I've never heard of them before but they are available here and apparently crop well so if they taste decent they sound worth planting
