About Hyacinth beans, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, with salt

The hyacinth bean (Lablab purpureus), also known as the lablab bean, Indian bean, or seim, is a versatile tropical legume grown across Africa and Asia for its pods, beans, and leaves, as well as for its striking purple flowers and vines. The young, flat green pods are eaten whole like green beans, while the mature seeds are shelled and dried. Hyacinth beans are a good source of plant protein, fiber, iron, and folate.

The tender pods are stir-fried, curried, and simmered into vegetable dishes across South Asian cooking, and the dried beans are cooked into dals and stews. Like many raw legumes, the mature dried beans contain natural compounds and must be thoroughly cooked, often with a change of cooking water, before eating. Choose crisp, bright young pods, and store fresh hyacinth beans in the refrigerator and dried beans in a cool, dry pantry.
