About Winged bean seed

Winged bean seeds are the mature seeds found inside the pods of the winged bean plant. They may be consumed fresh when immature or dried when fully mature; dried seeds are firm and require soaking or cooking to soften.

Cooked seeds are used as a legume and have a mild, bean-like flavour. They are distinct from the tender green pods, which are eaten as a vegetable. Nutrition comparisons should identify seed maturity and whether the seeds are fresh, dried, or cooked.
