Hi friends,
I do not remember if it turns out brown in the end but I have eaten a
beans quite like it. It releases a die when immersed in water after
cutting, however it is quite nice when coocked the beans is quite
fleshy. I do not know the name.
Madhuri's remark that it itches is not true in case of this beans.
However there is a wild climber which produces a similar bean and when
the beans are mature they explode in order to distribute the seeds and
at the time of the bursting of the pod, the hair like follicles is
carried by the wind to quite some distances and if one touches these
follicles the skin really itches. Once again I do not know the name.

regards
Yazdy Palia.
