Iron! If you are a vegetarian, eat vegetables and legumes as a replacement.

They're actually what are considered 'starchy vegetables'. They have more carbohydrates per serving than an equal serving size of say, lettuce. If you need to classify it in terms of diet, you would consider one serving of peas as one starch.

The seed coat is the visible exterior of the bean seed. The hard surface protects the inside of the bean seed.

Hilum

The hilum, a pale or white dot, can be located on the inside curved section of the bean seed. It's the scar left behind on the bean when it was disconnected from the string-like growth that held it to the inside of the bean pod.

Micropyle

The micropyle is adjacent to the hilum. This small hole lets water into the bean seed to stimulate the germination process.

Cotyledons

The cotyledons can be seen by splitting the bean seed in half. Each of the halves are known as cotyledons and serve as a food source for the germinating bean until the seedling grows energy-producing leaves.

Plumule

The plumule lies against one of the cotyledon halves. This curled-up, worm-like growth is what develops into a full bean plant. During the germination process, the plumule rises up between the two cotyledons. It's tip is known as the epicotyl and looks like a miniature leaf. It's connected to a hypocotyl, which turns into a stem as the bean develops.

Radicle

The radicle lies just below the plumule and develops into the bean plant's root system.

Edamame packs a powerful punch when it comes to nutritional content. It is high in phytoestrogens, a natural plant estrogen. A 100 gram serving (1/3 ounce or about 35 pods) of the beans only, not the pods, has 125 calories pack with 12 grams of protein, 13 grams of carbohydrates, and only 3.5 grams of fat. It is rich in calcium, and phosphorus and is a good source of vitamin A. You can also purchase from your grocery store lightly salted dry roasted edamame soybeans that are gluten free, cholesterol free and MSG free. They also are packed with Vitamin C, Calcium and Iron. A 1/4 cup serving (or 30g) serving contains 130 calories, 4 grams of fat, no saturated or trans fats, 230 mg of sodium (they are salted), 9 grams of Carbohydrates, 7 grams of dietary fiber and 13 grams of protein. So, they are high in protein and low in Net Carbs (which are your total carbs minus your dietary fiber=2grams net carbs), so they make a great snack fo people watching their carb intake and they appeal to those looking for a high protein snack. Hope this helped people looking for a yummy snack that's very healthy for you too!

No. The macadamia nut is not a legume.

Two dollars

Overnight or 6 to 8 hour in plenty of cold water. Or there is a quick soak recipe. Rinse and sort beans. Bring to a boil in water. Remove from heat. Let stand covered for an hour. Drain and rinse. Ready to go!

cocoa bean comes from trees

The exact origin of cocoa is still debated, it said to have been introduced by the ancient Maya to Central America from the South American highlands of the Amazon and Orinoco basins

legume is a vegetable used for food, or the fruit or seed of plants know as legumes such as peas or beans.

the Aztecs used to eat cocoa beans before war to gain strength. they also used it instead of money.

Yes, all beans are considered to be vegetables.

Soybean is unique among pulses as it is also an oilseed, containing about 20% of oil.

Only the edamame (young green soybean pod) qualifies as a vegetable, all other usages of the soybean involve some transformation, either from the whole beans, or from the protein-rich soybean flour after oil extraction.

Most grocery stores sell kidney beans either canned or dried. Dried beans often have the closest flavor to fresh. Canned beans are more convenient, but may contain additives or extra salt added to them to help preserve their color and flavor.

An oval but a dip in the middle

I know that you lose the potassium when you boil potatoes, so is the same true for prepared beans that come in a can? Obviously, it's still in the water, but I don't know how much leaches out and how much water the canning process retains.

Green beans are typically considered to be good for you because they are low in simple sugars and have almost no fat content. They also have a noticeable amount of protein, soluble fiber and a nice mix of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals).

Depends on the size :)

I know you can buy beans in a local supermarket

According to Wikipedia, Australia is.

-Rice (one cup)

-Sorrel or spinach (1 kg)

-Spring onions (3 bunches)

-Mint (a small bunch - if you add a lot of this, the food you are cooking becomes inedible)

-Parsley and dill (one bunch each)

-Oil and Salt

-Grape leaves (the fine type, not the thick ones)

Hi there! Well, first of all, let's define a human "bean", shall we? Are they tiny legumes with arms and legs that walk upright and wear clothes? Or a giant oddly-shaped, edible walking freak? I'm joking, I'll quit BEING a sarcastic jerk now. What a wonderful question!! All my life I have known, felt, and truly believed so. I have been ridiculed for my belief by many with comments such as, "We aren't built for flight, we are too heavy and have no wings!" These people, to me, are closed-minded and are stuck in a physical frame of mind. That's just my theory, of course. I believe we are capable of so much beyond even what us as believers can fathom. I think that whatever we KNOW we can do........we can. As far back as I can remember I have had lucid dreams. In them flying is natural. I believe that we leave our bodies when they (our bodies) have to sleep and we as spirits in our astral forms----fly. I think that's why some of us (who are more in touch with our spiritual side) are interested in the aspect of flying, some of us want to fly, and some of us know we can. I haven't run into many people who truly believe we can fly, or even many who question our ability such as yourself. But they are out there. Continue your quest for knowledge and never ever stop believing!!

there are roughly 1300

They are caused by a symbiotic bacteria which benefits the plant by fixing atmospheric nitrogen (which the plant needs to make proteins).
