Legumes

"Cured" vanilla beans that are ready to use will be very dark brown, 4-8" long, 1/4-3/8" wide, flexible, and have a slightly "sticky" feel.

The nutrional value of lima beans is that they are a great source of vitamin D.

Canned black beans typically have between 6-8g of protein per half cup serving.

Cacao (or cocoa) beans are the seeds of an Amozonian fruiting tree. The Mexican Mayan kings would drink up to 30 pure chocolate drinks per day to maintain their vigour and valued the bean so highly that it was used as money.

Theobroma cacao means 'food of the Gods'. the bean has 400 flavour compounds, which gives it 200% more flavour than any other food. If you eat the beans raw (buy from Health Food stores) you peel the bean first - it tastes very bitter. Very hard to get used to, and you can only nibble on it! Great to use crushed into smoothies or grind into coffee.

Legumes have been sustaining human life for over 10,000 years. All cultures use legumes in their traditional dishes. They are the only cultivated crop that improves the fertility of the soil in which they are grown, through the beneficial bacteria that live on their roots and by drawing nitrogen from the air into the soil.

Purée Mongole, also called Cream Mongole contains a combination of a creamed Split-Pea Soup and a Tomato Soup. It also typically contains carrots, onions, white turnips, leeks, a stock (either beef or chicken) and milk. Depending on the recipe, it can be seasoned with curry powder, salt, pepper, ground cloves, tumeric, nutmeg, cumin, and basil. Hope this was helpful!!

You probably did not have enough water to cover them in the soaking or cooking stage or both.

If you use too little water when soaking overnight then as the water is absorbed those on top will be out of the water.

When cooking also you have to make sure there is enough water to cover the beans

Using a pressure cooker greatly reduces the time to cook pre-soaked kidney beans. Instead of the 1- 1 1/2 hours it only takes 10 minutes. However it is not advised to pressure cook fava beans or lima beans.

Properly cooked kidney beans have a "bite" (al dente) -- so they are softer on the inside with a little bite on the outside.

WARNING

Undercooked beans can be toxic as beans conatain a natural insecticide called phytohaemagglutinin. Red kidney beans have the highest level of phytohaemagglutinin of all beans. This is broken down in cooking. And you must drain away the water used for soaking and cooking. Eating undercooked beans usually results in abdominal pain and can also lead to diarrhoea and in some uncommon cases, hospitalization. However, recovery is usually quick.

The most common bean in the world is the common bean(Phaseolus vulgaris).

well i think that they are brown

Certainly, if I were making a salad with canned beans, I would thoroughly rinse them first. But if I'm making soup or chili with canned black beans or kidney beans, should I drain and rinse them first? Goya brand beans have recipes on the side of the can that call for undrained beans.

On the one hand, I've heard claims that using the liquid in the can will increase gassiness, and that in some brands it can contain a lot of sodium. But I've also heard that it contains lots of soluble fiber that is lost if drained. Is there merit to either of these claims? Are there other nutrients that get lost if I drain and rinse? I always feel bad throwing out anything edible.

The beans are in a shell and when taken out they are small brown beans.

Lentils, beans and peas are all seeds of the plant they grew from. They contain the new plant material and it's own food store. Those we eat are usually good for protein, carbohydrate and dietary fibre. A dictionary will usually tell you this kind of information.

Legumes, which are also known as beans or pulses, are plants that can return nitrogen to the soil with the help of nitogen-fixing bacteria. Legumes can also be characterized as flowering plants that protect their seeds (beans) inside of pods. Legumes are members of family Fabaceae (legumes) and subfamily Faboideae (edible legumes). Legumes include soybeans, green beans, sweet peas, chickpeas, lentils, fenugreek seeds, peanuts, clover sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, rooibos tea, honeybush tea, astragalus root powder, and all common beans. Studies indicate that people who eat legumes regularly have longer life expectancies because of a lower risk of developing heart disease, stroke, cancer, and a dozen other killer diseases. However, the starch in many leguminous foods will cause flatulence.

Please re-define your question? Do you mean an iPod? Or do you mean the pod of a legume (e.g. alfalfa, clover, peas, beans etc).

I haven't tried to grow a catalpa from seed. However, the way that catalpa seedlings grow abundantly near mature trees I have observed--both in eastern and western Massachusetts--suggest they grow easily. My theory is that snow plowing has a lot to do with getting the beans buried and off to the sides of roads or parking lots, where they manage to grow without interference from lawn mowers or other controlled landscaping.
