توضیحات
Lablab purpureus is a species of bean in the family Fabaceae. It is native to Africa and it is cultivated throughout the tropics for food. English language common names include hyacinth bean, lablab-bean bonavist bean/pea, dolichos bean, seim bean, lablab bean, Egyptian kidney bean, Indian bean, bataw and Australian pea. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Lablab
The hyacinth bean is an old domesticated pulse and multi-purpose crop. Due to seed availability of one forage cultivar (cv. Rongai), it is often grown as forage for livestock and as an ornamental plant. In addition, it is cited both as a medicinal plant and a poisonous plant.
The fruit and beans are edible if boiled well with several changes of the water. 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. It has been shown that there is a wide range of cyanogenic potential among the varieties.
The leaves are eaten raw or cooked like spinach. 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
پیچک لبلب یا لوبیا لبلب یا لوبیا سنبلی گونه ای از خانواده باقلاییان است که مصرف تزیینی یا بعد از پختن مصرف خوراکی دارد
این لوبیا برای قبل از خورده شدن باید چندین بار با آب جوشانده شود و آب آن هر بار بعد از جوشاندن تعویض شود تا قابل خوردن شود گرچه گلها و برگها به صورت خام قابل خوردن هستند ولی میوه آن باید حتما چندین بار جوشانده شود تا قابل خوردن شود. در هرصورت این از زیبایی گیاه کم نمیکند و همچنان یک گیاه تزیینی زیبا محسوب میشود
