About Winged bean
Winged bean is a tropical legume whose plant bears distinctive four-sided pods with frilled edges. The name may refer to the whole food plant or, in culinary use, to its edible parts; the exact part should be specified for a nutrition comparison.
Its pods, leaves, flowers, roots, and seeds are used as foods in some cuisines, but they are not interchangeable ingredients. Young pods are commonly cooked and have a crisp texture; seeds are more substantial and require cooking. This page uses the broad plant name, not a single edible part.
