Lablab (Lablab purpureus), also known as lablab bean or hyacinth bean, is a warm-season legume grown in tropical and subtropical climates. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with full sunlight and regular watering. The plant grows as a climbing or sprawling vine and produces clusters of beans in pods. Key stages include planting seeds, germination, vine growth, flowering, and pod development. Lablab beans are harvested when the pods are young and tender or fully mature, depending on their intended use. They are valued for their high protein content and versatility in cooking, as well as their use as a cover crop for soil improvement.
