My daughter got this from school and told it was a beanstalk
We have kept growing it and doesn't look like it is, especially now it has started flowering
Any insight appreciated
Thank you all, trying to search images was no help until I knew to search Fava beans

You might not end up with any actual beans growing a single fava indoors in a pot, but fear not: The leaves and flowers are edible too. (And they taste like fava beans!)

Um… I don’t know if respondents so far are all American or if I am just confused, but I think that is what we’d call a Broad Bean in the UK. So if that’s where you’re from, that might make it sound more familiar.

Try a Chianti with them. I hear it’s delicious.

Broad bean known as favourite bean in states.
Yes leaves edible. Lovely flavour.
When growing in uk will pinch tops of outdoor plants to cook once beans have set.
Just brilliant with smoked bacon.
