A Pinto bean is a vegetable and it is VERY good for you too. Good question. :)
actually...beans go under the meat food group.
Veg.
Meat, nuts, and beans such as (pinto, red kidney, white beans, possibly Lima beans) are in the protein group.
No. They are not safe. As a hydrated product, they are just as potentially hazardous as meat.

Beans are veggies..Some people put bacon on it, so the dish could be both.
The actual bean itself is totally vegetarian since it's just part of a plant. The important thing to take note of is HOW the beans are prepared. Some people may cook their pinto beans in lard or may add bacon or meat stock to add flavor.
Eggs and beans are considered a meat group serving because they have lots of protein just like meats.
Technically, beans are a vegetable. However, many beans provide nutritional benefits similar to meat. For this reason, dry beans and peas are part of both the Meat/Poultry and Vegetable groups, according to the food pyramid maintained by the US Government site mypyramid.gov.
