About Sesbania flower, cooked, steamed, with salt
Sesbania is a fast-growing legume whose flowers, tender pods, and young leaves are eaten as vegetables across South and Southeast Asia. The best-known kitchen species, agati or vegetable hummingbird, produces showy white or yellow blossoms that are lightly bitter, dipped in batter and fried, stirred into curries, or dropped into the Thai soup kaeng som. Cooks pinch out the bitter green center before cooking to keep the flavor mild.
Like other edible legumes and greens, the flowers and leaves supply fiber, plant protein, iron, and vitamin A, making them a nourishing addition to a plant-forward plate. The plant is also grown as green manure and fodder, but it's the flowers that earn a place at the table. Use the blossoms the day you pick them, since they wilt quickly, and cook them briefly so they keep a little texture. A fast stir-fry with garlic is one of the simplest ways to enjoy them.
