Already well known in South/SE Asia, winged bean is a plant that sells itself. An herbaceous perennial vine that is more commonly grown as an annual, it is versatile in its uses and is very nutritious. high in protein and fat Every part of the plant is edible at different stages: the leaves are eaten young like spinach, the flowers brighten up salads, the young tubers are eaten cooked or raw, the tender pods are the most popular and can be eaten raw or cooked at 1" of age. within 6 weeks of flowering the beans are ready to harvest and are very high in protein. they require 3 hours or more cooking to break down the components that make them indigestible. it can also be grown as a cover crop growing across the ground as it fixes nitrogen into the soil. The beautiful pale blue flowers are showy and unique and the 4 sided pods it produces make wings at each corner explaining the common name.
