A bean scar, also known as a hilum, is the small, often dark mark on the surface of a legume seed, such as a bean. It is the site where the seed was attached to the pod during development and serves as a reminder of its connection to the parent plant. The appearance and size of the bean scar can vary between different types of beans. While it is a natural part of the seed, it does not affect the quality or edibility of the bean.
