Winged bean
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The
winged bean, a so-called
“supermarket on a stalk,’’ is
widely touted as a nutritional
saviour for protein-starved nations
in the developing world.
But University of Maryland
botanists warn that improper
storage of the harvested legume
could trigger aflatoxin con
tamination - a carcinogenic
compound caused by a mold
fungus.
“Our studies indicate that
winged bean should be stored with
caution to prevent growth and
aflatoxin production by mold
fungi,” says George A. Bean,
professor of botany and a
researcher for the university’s
Agricultural Experiment Station
(UMAES).
K 3 thru Set
Pork production totaled 1.04
billion pounds, down eight percent
from a year ago. The total six
million head killed was down nine
percent, while the average
Uveweight remained unchanged at
244. Lamb and mutton production
remained unchanged at 28 million
pounds. Total head killed, at
429,000, was up three percent, but
the average Uveweight declined
three pounds to 107.
danger given
The winged bean is a nitrogen
fixing plant - which means it
satisfies its own nitrogen
requirements by manufacturing
the nutrient. This is important in
developing countries where
nitrogen fertilizers, essential for
healthy plant growth, are either
nonexistent or too costly.
According to Bean and colleague
Tudor Fernando, developing
countries prize winged beans for
another reason. All parts of the
plant are edible - seeds, fruits and
leaves - and they are high in
protein, a must in countries where
members at the lower end of the
socio-economic scale cannot
readily afford protein-rich foods.
