Sword beans which belongs to a beans family. It is mainly cultivated as a grain crop. The seeds are highly nutritious. The seeds are highly rich in fibre content.
Canavalia gladiata, the sword beans or scimitar bean, is a domesticated plant species in the legume family Fabaceae. It is used as a vegetable in interior central and south central India, though not commercially farmed.
The green peels of the fruit and the leaves are said to be posionous. Hence, they are fed to cattle.
Swapped the sword beans seeds from one of the organic farm. Sown one seed for trail. Presently it has grown 6 feet tall. But still no flowering. Will update the status soon.
