Last year someone gave me a seed to plant. I did so. The seed sprouted and grew with a vengence. I liked the look of it so I fertilized it along with my other stuff and it continued to grow like mad. It produced a large vine that climbed and grew all over and up trees and over the chicken house. It produced these beans. They range from 12 to 14 inches long and the beans are red. I cooked some of them and ate them. They tasted like peanuts rather than beans...............evidently they are not toxic as I felt no ill effects......Does anyone know the name of them? I saved some seed to replant. Lots of folks have come by and wanted seed and I was happy to give them a bean or two. I was unable to tell them what it is .......................I would like to know..............I have tried to google up something but to no avail........................David

That looks like seed pods I brought back from MX few years ago. 2 diff seeds -- one was a Tamarind & the other was ...... I'll have to go back & look - sorry, but I'll come up w/ the name.
Can you post a pic of the plant & leaves?
