Everything about The Hyacinth Bean totally explained

The Hyacinth Bean (Lablab purpureus, syn. Dolichos lablab L., Dolichos purpureus L., Lablab niger Medikus, Lablab lablab (L.) Lyons, Vigna aristata Piper, and Lablab vulgaris, L.) Savi. ), also called Indian Bean and Egyptian Bean, is a species of bean in the family Fabaceae that's widespread as a food crop throughout the tropics, especially in Africa.
   The hyacinth bean grows as a vine, producing purple flowers and striking electric-purple coloured seed pods. Pods and seeds may be poisonous due to high concentrations of cyanogenic glucosides, and can only be eaten after prolonged boiling.
   It is also grown as forage and as an ornamental plant. In addition, this plant is also cited as a medicinal plant and a poisonous plant.
