Young and tender pods are edible, and can be eaten raw as part of salad, or stir-fried with sambal. The roots and mature seeds are also edible.

Thanks, Debbie and Kevogecko. Stir-fry seems to be the way to go!
In these parts, we call it "Four-angled" beans. If you google it, you will find it under "Goa" beans. Delicious as a dish, stir-fried (quickly) in a wok with some oil and garlic.
Very unusual Bean Olivia :-)
