These were called beans when I purchased the seeds. Well over the summer I have discovered they are more like peas than beans. Their blossoms are like peas, their flavor is more like peas than beans. This little bit in the bowl is some of the few I allowed myself to taste test to see if I wanted to grow them again next year. I do. They can be used the same way as bean or pea pods, or can be used as soup beans or peas.
They produce over an extended period so they will be good for fresh eating throughout the growing season and if they are left on the plant to mature into seed, the plant will begin producing more as soon as the mature pods are picked. As of today there are still all three stages of growth on these plants, blossoms, immature edible pods, and older pods with mature seed in them.
They are climbers like peas, they don't get very tall like peas. So I think they are a member of the pea family.
