Gwar, also known as cluster beans, is a hardy vegetable perfect for home growers. This hybrid variety produces slender, crunchy pods packed with fibre and known for their mildly bitter, earthy taste that softens on cooking.
Easy to grow in warm climates, it thrives in balcony planters or open garden beds. The pods are great in dry sabzis, stir-fries, and traditional North Indian meals.
Quick Grow-Guide

Sow directly 1.5–2 cm deep in soil beds or large grow bags.
-
Support the plant with light staking as it matures.
-
Remove weeds early to prevent competition.
-
Add compost or cow dung every 3 weeks for pod development.
-
Harvest when pods are 3–4 inches long—young and tender.
Pro Tip: Frequent harvesting encourages new pod growth.
