Phaseolus Tenuifolius

Phaseolus tenuifolius, commonly known as the evergreen bean, is a lesser-known legume native to the tropical regions of the Americas. This plant is characterized by its slender leaves and compact growth habit, making it well-suited for small spaces and container gardening. Despite its modest appearance, it produces edible pods that are rich in nutrients and often used in traditional cuisines. Its resilience to poor soil conditions and drought makes it a valuable crop for sustainable agriculture. While not as popular as other beans, it holds significant potential for both culinary and ecological applications.
