Leaves, especially those rich in dark green provitamin A. Protein (5,07,6 g) higher than cassava leaves (6.9 g), spinach (3.6 g), taro leaves (4.1 g) per 100 grams.
Interest
Single flower, butterfly type, grown from axillary leaves, petals are usually pale blue and has an advantage capable of self-pollinated.Such as squash and flowers turi flowers, winged flowers are also delicious eaten raw as a salad or fresh vegetable, boiled, or fried.Tastes good like a mushroom. The flowers can be processed into condiments, spices, candy, and natural dyes. Winged bean protein of interest (5.6 g) is greater than banana (1.6 g) and squash flower (1.3 g) per 100 grams.
Fruit pod type, elongated, rectangular-shaped with an angle beringgit, pod length between 5-35 cm, a width of about 2.5 cm, containing 5-20 seeds. Harvesting is done after a 80-120 day-old plants, when the pod was about 21 days after anthesis. Young pods, the plant is the most widely used as a vegetable, it can be eaten raw (as a salad), boiled, or mixed with other vegetables as a vegetable acid, vegetables lodeh, ointment, Karedok, pecel, gado-gado. Can also be processed by pan-fried or dioseng. In Bangladesh, young pods are fried and eaten with fish or meat.One hundred grams of young peas contain vitamin A (340-595 SI), iron (0.2 to 12.0 mg), vitamin C (21-37 mg), as well as other essential vitamins and minerals. For vegetables, young pods not only superior in nutrition, flavor also typical.

Seed
Winged bean seeds round with 8-10mm diameter, brown to black.Weight ranges from 0.06 to 0.40 grams. Old winged bean seeds best nutritional composition, although more widely used as a seed rather than food. Contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals is quite high compared to the young pods, tubers, and leaves.
Table seed proximate composition (%-b of the edible part)
Winged bean has a protein content and oil / fat which is very similar to soybeans. On a humid tropical environments soybean cultivated properly difficult. Therefore, the winged bean is cultivated in Indonesia is more potent than soy.
fatty acid content of winged bean
Fatty acid composition contained in the winged bean is as follows:
Behenat acidic winged bean was the fatty acid that is not absorbed by the intestine so it does not cause obesity when consumed by many humans.Winged bean plant utilization scheme as a whole can be seen in the following figure:
