Winged beans | Star beans – Green

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