Lablab beans - for Nick
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. -- Kay |

Mine are still alive and well, but I doubt that I shall get a crop :-) I grew soya once, and ate them half-ripe, boiled and dry salted. That's how I once had them in Japan. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
