Full Description

Vimaan Winged Bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) is a highly productive climbing legume known for its uniquely four-winged pods and exceptional nutritional value. Nearly every part of the plant is edible, including the tender pods, leaves, flowers, seeds, and tuberous roots. The pods are best harvested young and have a crisp texture and mild, nutty flavor similar to green beans. This vigorous vine is valued in tropical and subtropical gardens for its ability to improve soil fertility through nitrogen fixation. Vimaan is a strong-growing variety ideal for trellises, fences, and vertical growing systems.
