Description

'Winged Bean' seeds

Psophocarpus tetragonolobus

  • Tropical vine
  • Tasty green "winged" pods
  • Edible green leaves

Frost tender perennial that grows to 300cm (commonly grown as an annual). Is best suited to warm and tropical climates but can be grown in cooler climates with special care. Plants are tall climbing vines with green leaves producing violet/blue coloured flowers followed by green rectangular, four cornered beans. Beans are used as a vegetable and have a crunchy texture and asparagus-like flavour that is delicious both raw or cooked. Leaves are used as a leaf vegetable and are comparable to spinach. Flowers and roots are also edible. Also known as Goa Bean, Four Cornered Bean, Four Angled Bean, Manila Bean, Winged Bean and Mauritius Bean. Good disease resistance.
