We ate our crop of lablab beans the other night. (Small crop, because I
had only one plant). I steamed them whole, and they were quite
pleasant, sort between french and soya, nearer soya than french.

Whether they're worth growing depends on whether you like soya beans
enough to want something other than the frozen green soya beans that are
now available, and whether you find lablab easier or more difficult to
grow than soya. My bean was the blue leaved variety sold more for its
decorative value - so gives a lot of pleasure even if the crop is not
large.
