Yardlong Bean Cross-Ref

C tier

Yardlong bean cross-ref notes that asparagus/yardlong beans are V. unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis—same species complex as black-eyed peas but grown for long immature pods, not dry eyes. A data cross-reference for cooks linking the foods. Stir-fry pods as a green vegetable; do not expect dry black-eye stew behaviour. Distinct market form, shared species roots. Cross-ref prevents pantry confusion.
