Winged Bean Seeds, Urizun Japanese
Description
(Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) An early maturing and supremely delicious winged bean from Japan. This climbing bean is known for its unique, winged pods that are edible at various stages of development. Vines are lush and tropical looking, with large, lavender flowers and unique pods. The entire plant is edible, including the leaves, flowers, tubers, and seeds. Traditionally blanched and stir fried with ume (pickled Japanese plum), we love to toss them into the wok with just about anything; they are also great in soups or steamed.

Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
The winged bean Urizun thrives best in warm, tropical climates and requires full sun exposure for optimal growth. It's important to plant it in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH ranging from 6.0 to 6.8. Consistent moisture is key, especially during flowering and pod development. Additionally, providing a sturdy trellis or support structure is essential as the vines can grow over 10 feet tall​​.
When to Grow
The best time to plant Urizun winged beans is after the last frost date in spring when the soil has warmed to at least 70 F. The perfect temperature for growth is 75-95 F. In USDA zones 9-11, you can plant it directly outdoors. For cooler regions, consider starting seeds indoors and transplanting them after the danger of frost has passed.
How to Sow and Plant
To improve germination, soak the seeds for 1-2 hours before planting. Sow the seeds 1-2 inches deep and space them 6-12 inches apart, with rows 3 feet apart. If starting indoors, use a soilless mix and transfer the seedlings to the garden once they have their first true leaves and are large enough to handle​.
How to Grow
Ensure the plants receive regular watering, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain moisture and suppress weeds. While winged bean plants are not heavy feeders, incorporating compost or a balanced fertilizer at planting time and again during pod development can be beneficial. Pruning is generally unnecessary, but trimming the tops of the vines can encourage bushier growth.
How to Save
Winged beans are self pollinating and will not cross with other legumes.
Saving seeds is easy. Allow pods to fully mature and dry on the plant; collect the seeds as the pods split and then store them in a cool, dark, dry place.
FAQ
What pests and diseases should I watch out for?
Common issues include aphids, spider mites, and powdery mildew. Regular monitoring and organic pest control methods are recommended.
When should I harvest the Urizun winged bean pods?
Harvest the pods when they are young and tender, typically 2-3 months after planting. The ideal pod length is between 2-4 inches. Overly mature pods become fibrous and less desirable.
How can I store the harvested Urizun winged beans?
Fresh pods can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, consider drying the beans​​.
