Purple winged bean

15+ seeds

Purple Winged Bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) is a versatile, fast-growing legume known for its stunning purple flowers and unique, winged pods. This plant is highly valued for its nutritional profile, as nearly every part of the plant — from the leaves and flowers to the seeds and pods — is edible. The beans themselves are rich in protein, fiber, and essential minerals such as iron and calcium, making them an excellent source of plant-based nutrition. The pods, when young, have a delicate flavor and tender texture, while the mature beans can be used in soups, stews, stir-fries, and salads. The purple winged flowers and striking pods also add ornamental value to the garden, making it a dual-purpose plant. Purple Winged Bean thrives in tropical and subtropical climates and is perfect for vertical gardening due to its vining nature.
