sword bean
The sword bean is a type of legume plant, known scientifically as Canavalia gladiata, native to tropical regions in Asia. Its name comes from the shape of its beans, which are large, flat and sword-shaped. The plant itself is a climbing vine, often grown on trellises. The bean is sometimes cooked and eaten as a vegetable, though it is not as popular or widely grown as other beans due to its tough texture and bitter taste when raw. Some cultures use the seeds medicinally.
