Winged Bean Seeds Heirloom, Non-GMO Scientific Name: Psophocarpus tetragonolobus Winged Bean, also known as Asparagus Pea, Winged Pea, Four-Angled Bean, Manila Bean (Sigarilyas), Princess Bean, and Dragon Bean, is a highly versatile tropical plant. Almost every part is edible: The beans are used as a vegetable. The leaves can be cooked like spinach. The roots resemble potatoes in texture and taste. The dried seeds can be ground into flour. Cultivation Instructions Soil Preparation: Use fertile, well-drained soil in a warm, sunny location. Germination Tips: Winged Bean seeds can be challenging to germinate. To improve success: Pre-soak seeds in water for 24 hours until swollen. Keep at a 77F temperature for sprouting. If seeds don’t swell, scarify (gently scratch the seed coat) and re-soak. Plant once sprouted. Growing Conditions: Maintain moist soil and fertilize sparingly. Support Training: Use a vertical trellis or support, as vines grow 9-12 feet. Harvesting: Pick pods when they reach up to 3 inches in length.
