Avaraikaai or Indian broad beans are putting a lot of flowers and pods! It's great to have them in garden. I harvest a lot of them nowadays and share with family members.
Their growth are similar to other beans variety.
This beans is rich with fibre and very nutritious that you can have it everyday!
Cannot simply found in my village now. Last time, older people used to plant it in their garden's. The mature seeds also can be steamed as - kacang puting. Just put some salt and tumeric powder.
