Asparagus bean/豆角/장두

Dear friends , share with you the asparagus beans from my garden~~
亲爱的朋友们,与您分享院子里的豆角~~

The asparagus bean (Vigna unguiculatasubspsesquipedalis) is a legumecultivated for its edible green pods containing immature seeds, like the green bean. It is also known as the yardlong bean,[1] long-podded cowpea, Chinese long bean, bodi/bora,snake bean, or pea bean.[Despite the common name of "yardlong", the pods are actually only about half a yard long, so the subspecies name sesquipedalis (one-and-a-half-foot-long; 1.5 feet (0.50 yd)) is a more accurate approximation.
