Also known as Cluster Beans, Guvar, Gawar, Guwar, and Indian String Bean. Important vegetable crop for many people from India and Pakistan, and very hard to find here in the US. Cook very tender, young pods into a dry curry or vegetable dish (subji). Heat up oil with Indian anise seeds and add garlic, turmeric, chili powder, coriander, powder, and cumin powder. Add the guar and cook in the pressure cooker! (Recipe curtesy of our friend Nital - see below).

 

It is not known where this plant originated since it seems to be nowhere in the wild, but people suspect it was cultivated from another species in Africa, and further selected in South Asia. Yes, this nitrogen-fixing legume is the same Guar Gum used for its gel in many processed foods. It’s an important part of crop rotations, especially in northwestern India and Pakistan.

 

We first learned of this crop from our friend Nital Vidalia-Kakadia who told us we should try growing it for the South Asian diaspora. Later our apprentice (now grower) Tika Jagad tended to it at our farm and remembered eating it growing up. Hear them both (and Tika's father) talking about this plant in our Seeds and Their People podcast: EP. 22: Gujarati Seeds and Flavors with Nital Vadalia-Kakadia

 

COOKING NOTE: Young pods should be cooked (not eaten fresh) to remove a slight toxicity. 

 

Days to maturity: 60-90

Seeds per pack: 25

Germination rate: 88% on 05/20/2026

Planting / harvesting notes

This plant prefers high temperatures and drier weather, and usually grows in subtropical and tropical environments. Too much humidity or rain can cause damage in pod development. We have had better luck growing this crop in the protection of our high tunnel. Provide full sun and loose or sandy soil. We have also found that it doesn't seem to like to be transplanted, but we start ours indoors 4-6 weeks before frost and transplant 1' apart in the field after the last frost. 

Seed keeping notes

Harvest dry, brittle pods and shell them like other legumes. Allow seeds to dry further before storing (we give all seeds two weeks in a well ventilated place away from direct sunlight to continue drying).

Great stuff!
Color: #3 Rose Gold
Trying to give 4.5 stars. It’s phenomenal! My only .5 is that is absolutely does rub off on clothing. I’m going to a party tomorrow and I’ll try using setting spray after application. I love it though. Light weight, no odor and shimmer you can use on body, hair and even accessories!

Beautiful, Subtle, Long Lasting Sparkle
Color: #3 Rose Gold
Sprays easily and seems long lasting, (stayed on for more than 3 hours of light household work). The glitter is very fine, and that’s exactly what I wanted, it is not visible dots or shapes- my arms just sparkled when I moved them and with the changing light. Feels like nothing is there. Nice! Doesn’t feel especially moisturizing, but hasn’t dried my skin out either.

Great to have this on hand
Color: #3 Rose Gold
I bought the rose gold to add some shimmer to my body and hair. It's the right amount of shimmer to stand out. Looks super cute, it sticks easily and when you wash it off, the glitter comes off easily. The smell isn't the best, but it isn't terrible. I just use my own fragrance after I put this on. I love the glow it gives my skin and the shimmer it gives my hair. I'm going to buy this product again. Second time buying this and I love it!
