Specifications of Desi Broad Beans (Chikkudu Kaya) Seeds
This Desi variety produces flat, tender broad bean pods widely used in South Indian and everyday household cooking. As a vigorous climbing legume, it needs a trellis, fence, or vertical support to grow along and produce a healthy pod set. Valued for its mild flavor and reliable yield, this traditional variety is a favorite for home kitchen gardens.
Benefits / Uses
Classic Desi variety with authentic taste and texture
Popular in curries, stir-fries, and sambar preparations
Vigorous climber — good for covering trellises, fences, or pergolas
Nitrogen-fixing legume — improves soil health for future crops
Continuous harvest over several weeks once vines mature
Planting and Care for Broad Beans
Sowing: Sow seeds 1-1.5 inches deep in well-drained, fertile soil. Space seeds adequately to allow room for climbing growth.
Growing: Provide a trellis or vertical support early, as the vine grows quickly and needs guidance. Water regularly, keeping soil moist but not waterlogged.
Harvesting: Harvest pods while still tender and flat, typically 60-75 days after sowing — regular picking encourages continued pod production.
Precautions While Growing Broad Beans
Provide sturdy support early, as mature vines and pod clusters can be heavy
Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot
Watch for aphids and pod borers; use organic pest control methods where needed
Harvest pods promptly at the tender stage, as overripe pods become fibrous
