Bean is a common name for large plant seeds of several genera of Fabaceae (formerly Leguminosae) used for food or feed. They are also known as legumes.
The bean isle in the grocery store can be a little overwhelming. So many kinds of beans, so little time. After conducting a small research study facilitated by Wikipedia, I found that there are many more varieties of beans than what are available in the store. That seems somewhat unfair. Only the most popular beans get their time to…digest while the others lead a life of obscurity. Or perhaps it’s the other way around. Maybe the coolest beans escape the digestive track while the bad beans are banished to the grocery store.
The following is a compellation of my resent research conducted on said large plant seed, with the intention of giving each one their five seconds of fame: soybeans, peas, lentils, kidney beans, vetches, lupins, snap beans, green peas, coffee beans, castor beans, cocoa beans, vanilla beans, broad bean, moth bean, azuki bean, urad bean, mung bean, rice bean, cowpea, black-eyed pea, yardlong bean, chickpea, lathyrus, Indian pea, Tuberous pea, hyacinth bean, tepary bean, runner rean, lima bean, pinto bean, winged bean, pigeon pea, velvet bean, guar, jack bean, sword bean, horse gram, tarwi, coral bean, navy bean, red bean, white bean, garbanzo bean, green bean, black bean, pink bean, yellow bean, lima bean, fava bean, popping bean, blue lake bean, golden wax bean, purple king bean, dragon’s tongue bean, red swan bean, chevrier bean, elsa bean, flambeau bean, flamingo bean, borlottie bean, sierra bean, burke bean, othello bean, maverick bean, robust bean, rainy river bean, michelite bean, sanilac bean, cannelloni bean, great northern bean, domino bean, black magic bean, Blackhawk bean, nighthawk bean, Santa Maria pinquito bean, sinaloa azufrado bean, sulphur bean, mayocoba bean, peruano bean, cranberry bean, and Mark Bean.
