Psophocarpus tetragonolobus

Winged Bean, also known as Four Angle Bean, is a unique and highly versatile perennial, tropical legume that is gaining popularity in Indian home gardens and farms. The plant produces light green, elongated pods with a distinctive square shape and four winged edges. This vine thrives in India’s hot and humid conditions, but is also adaptable to a variety of climates and soil types, including less fertile or compacted soil.

Highly valued for its exceptional nutritional profile, every part of the Winged Bean plant is edible. The young pods are tender and delicious when cooked like vegetables, the leaves can be used like spinach, the roots offer a nutty flavour, and the flowers are also known to be rich in protein. This makes it an excellent choice for homegrown nutrition or small-scale farming focused on sustainable food production.

Winged Bean is a smart choice for Indian gardeners seeking easy cultivation of high-protein vegetables and nutritious crops for tropical climates. It also serves as an effective cover crop, helping fix nitrogen in the soil and improving soil health naturally. Best sown in summer or monsoon, the plant performs well under heavy rainfall but prefers moderate day lengths for optimal yield.

Grow Winged Bean at home or in your farm to enjoy a highly productive, multi-purpose plant that enhances your kitchen and contributes to sustainable gardening.
