Lakpura® Long Beans are vigorous climbing annual vines that produce slender green pods typically 1 to 2.5 feet long. Though often called long beans, they are more closely related to black-eyed peas than common green beans. The most common varieties are green long beans, available in light and dark green shades with a pronounced beany flavor, while purple varieties also exist, offering a similar taste and texture profile.
Long beans are highly nutritious, rich in vitamins A and C, along with essential minerals such as iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and potassium. Their high fiber content supports digestion, helps lower cholesterol, and assists in regulating blood sugar levels. Packed with antioxidants like flavonoids, they also offer anti-inflammatory benefits.
