 Psophocarpus
Used for leafy green potherbs, fresh pods, dried beans, edible tubers, animal fodder and forage, green manure, and cover crops; winged beans are the ultimate multi-purpose crop.
For example, maximum yield figures were given for leaves, fruit, and tubers without pointing out that increasing the yield of one edible part of the plant was generally at the expense of the others and that it was impossible to get anything near the maximum yield for all the edible parts from one plant.
As a result if you are growing winged beans primarily for the leaves it is useful to add an external source of nitrogen to the soil.

 Patent 6,562,380
With clovers, the isoflavones are recovered from the leaf rather than from the seed in the case of soya, beans, nuts and grams.
Thus the types of bean sprouts, clover sprouts and alfalfa sprouts generally available have been selected on the basis of cultivar and of age for pleasant taste, and in so doing inadvertently have been selected for low isoflavone content.
Thus common leguminous foodstuffs consumed in Western countries (broad beans, garden peas etc) have relatively low oestrogenic isoflavone content and exceptionally large amounts of these would need to be consumed daily to approximate those isoflavone levels consumed in traditional diets.

Their foliage is similar, but darker and they bear loose sprays of reddish-brown or white flowers, which are followed by interesting pods that grow up to 9 inches long.
Winged beans are more popular in recent years because the pods are high in protein and the tips of the leaves, the flowers, the underground tubers and the seeds shelled from overripe pods can all be eaten.
No matter how early you plant them, they won't fruit until early autumn; after that there must be a long, frost-free period to ensure a good harvest.
