ConnieC, not only exotic but dare I say, right on the spot.

Rva, thatÂ´s exactly how we call the blossoms too in Bataan. Though we admired their suggestive structure, we never suspected that the pods would be edible.

I love this new edit function.

Zharmagne, I khave a couple of posts on haricots vert in the archives. I just bought some at S&R yesterday. They don’t always have them, but I find them every once in a while. And they are a little older than true haricots verts.

Okay, I am beginning to feel quite confident this is sam-samping or butterfly pea or clitorea ternatea. Different from bataw, bunga ng singkamas or patani. Thanks everyone for your comments…

I live in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. I grew up in San Miguel, Bulacan. My mother used to grow them in our backyard. If I remember correctly, these are called bataw. It is winter here and I miss the fresh vegetables you can buy at the local farm stands.
