The winged bean is a tropical legume, also known as the Goa bean or four-angled bean, cultivated for its edible pods, leaves, flowers, and tubers. It is a vigorous climbing perennial vine reaching 3-5 metres that thrives in hot, humid conditions. It is one of the most prolific nitrogen-fixing plants in the Fabaceae family, which significantly reduces its need for external nitrogen fertilization.
