It is widely cultivated in the humid tropics of Southeast Asia, but remains a minor vegetable elsewhere. Plants can reach 10 m in length with a deep, penetrating root system. Leaves are trifoliate, similar to other legumes, with white, butterfly-like flowers also similar to other legumes. Mature pods reach 40 cm in length.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo. of Seeds : 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUses\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYoung green pods and seeds are eaten sparingly as a cooked vegetable, though \u003cem\u003eC. gladiata\u003c\/em\u003e is most useful as a green manure cover crop.
