For human nutrition the winged bean is a plant with outstanding qualities. With the exception of its stems and roots, all of its parts-leaves, flowers, shoots, immature pods, immature and ripe seeds, and tubers-are edible, palatable, and highly nutritious. Winged bean sprouts and shoots may be eaten either raw or cooked as green vegetables.Besides, adding cooked winged bean leaves to the diets of weaned infants and preschool children should be beneficial because of the favorable content of minerals, and especially of the vitamin A precursor beta-carotene. As a matter of fact, the amount of vitamin A in winged bean leaves ranks among the highest ever recorded in green leaves of tropical plants. This vitamin is very important, because in some developing nations many children go blind because of vitamin A deficiency.
