Although it is not specified as the national vegetable of Bangladesh but still it is unspecified truth that Bean is the the national vegetable of Bangladesh. Bean is cultivated throughout the country specially in the winter season. The hilly area of Chittagong like Sitakunda area is one of the best reason of Bean calculation in Bangladesh. As I live near the place I can see e a huge Bean cultivation just in the slope of the hilly area. But after winter it is not possible to have that much because most of the species of Bean are of winter special. The rest are are basically grown throughout the year and these are very rare.
Bean can be used as vegetable and after that the seeds also used as vegetable as well when the bean turn to little hard and not suitable for taking as vegetable. That is also a famous vegetable among the rural people of Bangladesh as far I know. Locally those seeds are called Khaissa. You can have the taste of these seeds from several restaurants as well in this season. In winter the price of the seeds is very much reasonable as well. The price of Park kilogram of Bean seeds is about $1. But when is out of season then you need to buy it with more than $2 per kilogram.
The flower of Bean is very lucrative as well and this can be widely used for honey cultivation as well. Around the area of been farming we can see a number of horticulture. Bee loves to collect the honey from Bean flowers. And this Honey has different taste which is only possible in the winter.
With all those things last of all I just want to mention another things of capturing the beauty. When the Bean grows and it flower it is looking amazing as you can see from the pictures from my father in laws Garden. This is this bank of an pond and there you can see number of Bean of different species are being cultivated. Some flowers are pure white and some flowers are of reddish colour. It always increases the beauty of around area and rejoice us. The photograph I have captured with my realme smartphone in this winter from the village area.
