The plant family known as legumes is called Fabaceae (or Leguminosae). Members of this family are characterized by their fruit, which is typically a pod, and include a wide variety of plants such as beans, lentils, peas, and peanuts. Legumes are important for their nutritional value and their ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, benefiting agricultural practices.
