About Winged bean

Winged bean, also known as Psophocarpus tetragonolobus, is a versatile legume native to Southeast Asia. This tropical plant is renowned for its nutrient-dense profile, with nearly every part of the plant being edible, including pods, leaves, flowers, and tuber-like roots. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins such as A and C, winged bean supports muscle health, digestion, and immunity. It’s also packed with minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium, which benefit bone strength, oxygen transport, and heart health. Commonly featured in Asian cuisines, it is stir-fried, boiled, or added to soups and salads. The bean's high protein content makes it a valuable crop for vegetarian diets, but it also contains moderate amounts of fat, so portioning matters in calorie-conscious meals. With its impressive nutritional profile and adaptability in cooking, winged bean is a powerhouse addition to a healthy, balanced diet.
