	Winged bean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus), also known as the Goa bean (kacang botol in Malaysia), is a tropical legume plant native to Papua New Guinea.
		The winged bean plant grows as a vine with climbing stems and leaves, 3-4 m in height.
		It is possible that, with a little genetic improvement through selective breeding, the winged bean could raise the standard of living for millions of people in poor, tropical countries.

		Sprouted beans tend to be less gaseous because the carbohydrates are converted to digestible sugars during germination of the bean.
