Wikipedia

  1. vigna unguiculata sesquipedalis

    The asparagus bean (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis) is a legume cultivated for its edible green pods containing immature seeds, like the green bean. It is also known as: yardlong bean, pea bean, long-podded cowpea, Chinese long bean, snake bean, bodi, and bora. Despite the common name of "yardlong", the pods are actually only about half a yard long, so the subspecies name sesquipedalis (one-and-a-half-foot-long; 1.5 feet (0.50 yd)) is a more accurate approximation. A variety of the cowpea, the asparagus bean is grown primarily for its strikingly long (35 to 75 centimetres (1.15 to 2.46 ft)) immature green pods and has uses very similar to those of the green bean. This plant is in a different genus from the common bean. The different colors of seeds usually distinguish the many varieties. It is a vigorous climbing annual vine. The plant is subtropical/tropical and most widely grown in the warmer parts of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and southern China.

  1. vigna unguiculata sesquipedalis

    Vigna unguiculata sesquipedalis, also known as yardlong bean, long-podded cowpea, asparagus bean, snake bean, or Chinese long bean, is a climbing annual vine which is a variety of a plant species in the family Fabaceae. The plant is best known for its strikingly long (60 cm, 1.5-2 ft) immature green pods and is thus commonly used as a vegetable in a similar manner to the green bean. The pods, which can begin to form just 60 days after sowing, hang loosely in groups of two or more. The plant is subtropical/tropical and most widely grown in the warmer parts of Southeast Asia, Thailand, and southern China. It is a versatile food because both the mature pod and the mature seed are edible and it is also an important forage and feed crop.
