in stockThe taste is rather sweet and reminiscent of apple and nashi. The roots can be used like the water chestnut that is popular in Asian cuisine but have to be peeled very thoroughly before consumption. The peel is inedible. Traditionally, the root tuber is also often cut into sticks and eaten as a snack with a little bit of lemon juice and chili powder.
Although the yam bean is a legume, the pods and beans of the plant are poisonous and definitely not fit for consumption. Instead, they are ground and used as a biological insecticide.
Seeds, content: Approx. 10 Yam beans
Details: Plant description & care
Sowing & cultivation
Like all beans, this one is also a creeper. Preculture: Approx. 4 weeks before possible planting out. Before, soak the seeds of Pachyrhizus erosus in water overnight. After the last frosts, plant them out into a greenhouse or into the open land or keep them in buckets in a warm location.
For larger tubers, remove the blossoms in time. The roots are harvested before the first autumn frosts. They can be eaten raw or cooked. All other plant parts are poisonous!
