The yard long bean, 'Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis', is a subspecies of the cowpea, grown around the world for its medium-sized edible bean. 

Despite the name, the pods are actually only about half a yard long; the subspecies name of sesquipedalis (one-and-a-half-foot-long) is a rather more exact approximation of the pods' length.

It is a vigorous climbing annual vine.

The pods, which begin to form just 60 days after sowing, hang in pairs. 

They are best if picked for vegetable use before they reach full maturity. 

Yard-long beans are quick-growing and daily checking/harvesting is often a necessity. 

The crisp, tender pods are eaten both fresh and cooked. They are at their best when young and slender. 

They are sometimes cut into short sections for cooking uses. 

They are used in stir-fries in Chinese cuisine.
