Lotus tetragonolobus (Asparagus Pea)

The Lotus tetragonolobus, commonly known as Asparagus Pea, is a unique vegetable that combines the flavors of asparagus and peas. The plant produces delicate pea-like pods that can be harvested and used in various culinary dishes. The pods have a tender texture and a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. Asparagus Pea plants are compact and bushy, reaching a height of about 1-2 feet. They have small, pinnate leaves and produce small, yellow flowers that resemble those of the pea plant.
