Winged beans | Star beans – Green long

Long Green Winged Beans (Star Beans) are a nutritious, fast-growing climber producing extra-long, four-angled pods with frilly winged edges that form a star shape when sliced. Crunchy and flavourful, the tender young pods are delicious in thoran, stir-fries and curries, and nearly every part of the plant is edible. Heat-loving and vigorous, the vines crop heavily over a long season. Sow in full sun in fertile soil, provide a trellis to climb, and harvest young pods regularly. A high-protein, rewarding choice for home and terrace gardens.
