Goa-bean
Psophocarpus tetragonolobus
Goa-bean is a vigorous tropical vine that requires a sturdy trellis or support structure and thrives in warm, humid climates with fertile, well-draining soil. Water regularly to keep moisture consistent but avoid waterlogging at the roots. All parts of the plant — pods, seeds, leaves, and tubers — are edible, making it a highly productive addition to a tropical vegetable garden.
