Winged pea (Asparagus pea), Lotus

Tetragonolobus purpureus
https://www.zollinger.bio/web/image/product.template/1042/image_1920?unique=25eb0ef

This, almost forgotten, vegetable will hopefully enjoy its renaissance! The plants spread as ground covering all over the bed. The deep red butterfly flowers illuminate the deep green of the leaves. Asparagus pea seems to turn a garden bed into a work of modern art with angled “wings” to attract the attention of the eye. Harvest the square-winged legumes when still immature (about 3 cm long). Prepare them in the kitchen like snow peas or sugar peas. The are a delicacy for the eyes and palate.
