Winged Bean
Psophocarpus tetragonolobus
Duration: Annual
When to Sow: Spring Ease of Germination: Easy
(Goa bean) From Papua and New Guinea but widely cultivated throughout the tropics. Rich source of protein, vitamin A, C, calcium and iron. Distinctive pods have four wings along their lengths and can be eaten like string beans. Flowers and flowerbuds taste like mushrooms and can be eaten raw, fried or steamed. Young shoots and leaves can be eaten raw or cooked like spinach. In Indonesia, milk, tempeh and tofu are made from the dried beans. Even the tuberous roots can be eaten like potatoes. Not well known to gardeners because traditional varieties fail to produce before the frosts arrive in autumn; but our variety is a much earlier (day-length neutral) and starts to produce in 75 days. Needs a warm, sunny location, moist soil, and a trellis to climb on.
