Dried beans serve as grains to some extent, but are legumes and so are not technically a grain- and you can not make bread flour from beans, but they are starchy.

Green bean are surely a vegetable. Nope, green beans are technically fruit--the seed-bearing structure of the plant. A grain, by definition, is the seed of a cereal grass. Buckwheat, for example, is not a grass, its seeds are considered fruit. By that reasoning, beans are all fruits but can be called legumes, as offered in the first answer. All grains are fruit. Some fruits are grain. Some fruits are legumes. If that leaves your head spinning, here's something else to consider. By an act of the U.S. Congress, tomatos are considered vegetables.
