How to grow Hyacinth or Lablab Beans 

Here is another name for this bean. In Telugu it is called Chikud kai.

Check root nodules to see if rhizobium is fixing N2.

The video is more about how to harvest!! No relavent growing info!

These look great! I’ve been unsuccessful in growing these! I started them off indoors to I be later transplanted after the last frost! The seedlings grow really well in the beginning but fall over and die despite supporting them with tiny plant supports! What am I doing incorrectly?!

In Guyana, South America, it is called seim beans and it's delicious when cooked in a coconut based curry with shrimp and potatoes. It is popularly eaten with roti but can also be consumed with rice.

Thanks for this video. Where did you buy your seeds? I'm having trouble finding seeds that aren't sold in pounds. I don't need that much seed.

Hi When will you giveaway seeds? And how to I purchase seeds from you, I am in Canada

It has a number of variety in India and we cook it along the seeds and consume it its very tasty people mash and pickle them too besides vegetable curry which is almost dry but not too dry

I love this vegetable, that's why I always have this in my garden here in CA. In the Philippines we call it bataw.

Paano niloloto Ang bataw

Mashallah

I am growing these for the first time this year. London

Hi, Thanks for all these wonderful video and tips you give us about gardening. All your videos are awesome. In this video I was looking for something else as the title says "How to grow Hyacinth or Lablab Beans" but the video was more on how to harvest these beans. I have a seedling started indoors for this Dolichos lablab, I was looking for any tips on how to transplant and grows it outdoors. Also it would be helpful if you have any tips on how to set up a trellis for this plant. Thanking you in advance.

Does the young pod safe to give to bird?

is this avarekai?

Hi my plant was growing well but now suddenly it’s yellowing do you have any idea why is that??

In the Philippines I think it is called Bataw, and Chicharo is Snow Peas.

Vaal beans or Rangoon field fawa beans available in Indian grocery are sprouting. You can try how they will come up. I will try them this spring.

We call this bean batao. we eat the tender pods and we are still alive !

The hyacinth bean is an old domesticated pulse and multi-purpose crop.[6][7][8] Due to seed availability of one forage cultivar (cv. Rongai), it is often grown as forage for livestock[9] and as an ornamental plant.[10] In addition, it is cited both as a medicinal plant and a poisonous plant.[11][12] The fruit and beans are edible if boiled well with several changes of the water.[12] Otherwise, they are toxic due to the presence of cyanogenic glycosides, glycosides that are converted to hydrogen cyanide when consumed. Signs of poisoning include weakness, vomiting, dyspnea, twitching, stupor, and convulsions.[12] It has been shown that there is a wide range of cyanogenic potential among the varieties.[13] The leaves are eaten raw or cooked like spinach.[8] The flowers can be eaten raw or steamed. The root can be boiled or baked for food. The seeds are used to make tofu and tempeh.[5]

Thanks for making this video super helpful. You can definitely let the pod mature and take the beans out of the pod/shell. Definitely edible. In Kannada it is called avarekaalu and we use it to make up a or sambhar just like green peas.

I had sown the seeds in April,. The plants have grown good but no flowers bloom. Can you please guide me?

Nice video! Taught me a lot about these. One question - -did you mention that you eat the pods but NOT the seeds? Do you shell the seeds out and toss those away OR do you eat the pod and the seed inside? thanks!

nice video.hey did you grow it from the same beans seed?

Hi Sir ,Can i use the store bought avarakkai and take seeds from them to grow ?

It's very good it's like bread beans its everlasting and does not require much care.

So many names in so many different languages, I'll add mine, we call it "Same". 9/3/2016 and I am presently growing it in Atlanta and I am getting some pods. I think I have enough to sauté with some potato and some seasonings. Oh but my pods are of the slender darker green variety.

Everything fine, except your acting pronunciation 😛

we call it avare kalu

Lima beans look like this. I will try Lima which can be eaten green. This Hyacinth has nostalgic value of India

I have hyacinth bean plant. It has many flower but most of them falls on the ground. Do I need do hand pollinate them or what should I do to get more pods? My plant has lot of amphid, please help me how to remove them. By the way we can use the whole pod to make semi gravy or adding to it to sambar. Thanks.

Isn't the title of the video misleading? Nowhere you have shown how grow? It's all about how it's already grown and havest

Hi I am from NJ! I grew lablab this season, lush green leaves spread all over, I put compost as fertilizer in my backyard, but unfortunately I did not see a single pod on these lablab plants. So I wonder what I did wrong. I got lots of purple lablab, broad beans?

I feel like you and your wife should start also a cooking channel to showcase what delicious things you make with these veggies

Chikkudu Kaya in Telugu is same as this? Seeds look the same. But Chikkudu pod is green and more in length and round in shape.

Chikkudu is here at 4.02 min in video. Shot in Telangana I know it by accent. This is a little different from Hyacinth.

I am looking to buy some seed can you point me to any place that sells this thanks

I have this vine growing big but no flowers. It is in a big well drained pot. What should I do?

my hyacinths bloomed like anything but now all the flowers have started falling off with tiny pods inside please suggest some remedy i really worried

hi ..thankyou for the video .. its very informative .. i have the same plant in my house but a smaller one .. while picking weeds i have accidentally pulled out the stem of this plant which has flowers and tiny pods .. so if i replant the stem will it regrow into a new plant ? .. does stem cultivation work for this beans?

Hi, thanks for the video. Can we germinate the hyacinth beans by sun drying store bought fresh beans? Or should we let them dry on the plant itself?

Useful video.. Thanks..

This bean can make use same species of Rhizobium for Nitro fixation for beans and peas as per literature. You should try Micorrhize for Curry leaf plant for faster growth. I ordered live curry leaf plants also.

White vaal beans from India grocery sprouted. You may try them. They may represent true Indian white flowered Chikkudu or Papdi.

Awesome video. I love this veg. Are you growing this in California? Where did you get the seeds?

I enjoy watching all of your videos . I love both varieties equally. I cannot find many video blogs , especially on growing Indian fruits and vegetables from California. Your videos are very clear and straight to the points and there is not much time wasted. I like to start these veggies as we are almost approaching March. But, I do not have any seeds. I like to buy the seeds so I can get them started in early spring in the pots. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, 35-40 miles East of San Francisco. We have cold winters and hot summers here in my area. Please, please provide me the information as to how I can purchase Hyacinth and Indian Broad Bean seeds. We do use matured seeds as well as pods together in our recipes and it tastes just as great. Please help and keep those superb videos coming.

Poor presentation

I grow the purple dolchos lablab. Some people say its beans are toxic when dry. Is it ok to eat the young fresh ones?

I am trying this for the first time and I am planning to have them grown in pots this year. Can there be more than 2 plants in a 12" pot? If so u think 3 or 4 can be in one pot or would that be too close spacing?

How to grow from seed ? Do I have to let that seed dry out ?

Nice Video. How tall do you have the trellis for these and what is the normal total height of the plant when fully grown? Also where do u get your nets from. Appreciate your reply.
