Winged Bean is a tropical heirloom legume from New Guinea, also called dragon bean or goa bean. Its pods have four ruffled wings, while the pods, leaves, shoots, flowers, seeds and tubers can all be eaten.
Soak the seeds for 24 hours and nick the seed coat if needed before sowing ½ inch deep. Start indoors 4–5 weeks before the last frost at 77–85°F, then plant out after frost in a warm, long-season climate.
