    1. Yes, they are edible. The taste is similar with green bean. The young raw pod is little bit sweet and so crispy.

  9. Is it a perennial plant or you plant it every year? It reminds me of our peas.

    1. If the weather is favorable through the years and with good maintenance (pruning and fertilizing), this vine could be grow well until three years, even more. But here. sometime this plant is grown as a biennial.
