Description

Planting:

Cluster beans thrive in warm and arid climates. Plant the seeds during the appropriate growing season, typically in the spring or early summer when the soil has warmed up. Plant the cluster bean seeds about 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 4 cm) deep into the soil.
Germination:

Cluster bean seeds typically germinate within 5 to 7 days after planting, but it may take up to 10 days depending on temperature and soil conditions.
Harvesting:

Cluster beans can typically be harvested about 45-60 days after planting, once the pods are tender and about 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) long. Harvest regularly to encourage continuous pod production.
Nutrition:

While the primary value of cluster beans comes from guar gum, the seeds themselves are also nutritious. They contain protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Cluster beans are a good source of dietary fiber and can be consumed as a vegetable.
