About Winged bean leaves

Winged bean leaves are the edible leaves of the winged bean plant. They are green and may be eaten young and tender or at a more mature stage, when they can be firmer and more fibrous.

The leaves are generally cooked in dishes such as soups or stir-fries rather than treated as the bean’s pods or seeds. They have a mild leafy flavour and soften with cooking. Fresh leaves and cooked leaves differ in texture and water content, and should not be conflated with other parts of the plant.
