Description: Plant Name Hyacinth Bean, Bonavist Bean, Dolichos Bean Nutrition, Health Benefits Hyacinth bean is a dietary supplement that is used to help support healthy blood sugar levels, reduce cholesterol, and aid in weight loss. It is also used to help improve digestion and reduce inflammation. It can be taken in capsule form or as a powder mixed with water or juice. Planting Time Hyacinth beans should be planted in the spring when the risk of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures are consistently at 50°F. You can start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before the expected last frost in spring, then transplant into the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Planting Methods Hyacinth beans can grow in full sun in rich, well-drained soil with a compost-rich loam. They can tolerate high heat and short periods of cold, but prefer temperatures around 70°F. · When you see sprouting, thin the plants to a spacing of six inches. · Hyacinth beans germinate in 2–3 weeks. · If the weather gets too cold, the plants will slow or stop growing until temperatures warm. · In the fall, the pods turn a cream color and are dry, so you can pop them open and pick out the seeds. Harvesting The best time to harvest hyacinth bean seedpods is right before the first frost. The pods will begin to grow significantly after the flowers die. · Allow the pod to dry out on the vine · Split the pod · Remove the seeds · Let the seeds dry for another week · Shell the beans · Store the seeds in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight for a few days to a week Cooking Hyacinth beans can be cooked in a few ways: · Blanching: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add ¼ cup of salt per 2 quarts of water. Add the beans and boil for 3 minutes. · Boiling: Boil raw, mature hyacinth beans. · Roasting: Roasting drives away toxins. · Soaking: Soak dried hyacinth beans overnight and then boil them for a long time in lots of water. · Boiling multiple times: Boil unsoaked dry beans in lots of water twice. · Sautéing: Saute the beans and then cook them in their own steam on low heat for 10-15 minutes.
