Not particularly. Black beans and pinto beans are far higher in fibre.
Adzuki beans (Vigna angularis) are also known as adsuki, azuki, asuki, aduki, chi dou or hong xiao dou (Mandarin), feijao, field peas, red oriental beans, and Tiensin red beans. They share their genus with black eyed peas, black grams, and mung beans.
Adzuki beans from 8,000 years ago have been excavated in Japan. They were likely first cultivated in Japan between 4000 BC and 2000 BC. In China and Korea, adzuki beans (likely cultivated) from ruins date from 3000 BC to 1000 BC.
Where do nitrogen fixing bacteria that have a symbiotic relationship with legumes live?
Legume plants are notable for their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, thanks to a symbiotic relationship with certain bacteria known as rhizobia found in root nodules of these plants. The ability to form this symbiosis reduces fertilizer costs for farmers and gardeners who grow legumes, and allows legumes to be used in a crop rotation to replenish soil that has been depleted of nitrogen. The nitrogen fixation ability of legumes is enhanced by the availability of calcium in the soil and reduced by the presence of ample nitrogen. Root nodules. via Wikipedia
Culinarily speaking, it would depend on the species of legume and your own personal preferences. If you think of a particular legume as sweet and use it as you would other culinary fruit, then you would call it a fruit; if you use it in a savory vegetable dish, you would call it a vegetable.
Botanically speaking, they are either plants in the family Fabaceae or the fruits of these plants (like peanuts, soybeans, lentils, etc.). So yes, they are technically a fruit.
In certain conditions, such as humid weather, dried beans may get tiny bugs in them, even in a sealed container. If you live in a humid climate, one way to avoid this is to store your dried beans in the refrigerator or freezer. Cooked beans will go bad in a week, more or less, depending on the conditions, even when stored in the refrigerator. You can tell they have gone bad by the terrible smell.
Why are they named Great Northern Beans?
Large white beans were grown for hundreds of years by the by the Mandan, Arikara, and Hidatsa people of what is now North Dakota.
Oscar H. Will (1855-1917) came to North Dakota in the spring of 1881 and was employed at Fuller Green House in Bismarck. He purchased the Fuller Green House on July 1, 1884, and also started a nursery and seed business. He soon started his experiments with native local plants. The seed company was first called Pioneer Seed House in 1897 and then Oscar H. Will & Company. Will's seeds served farmers and gardeners around the world for more than 75 years, reaching customers through a colorful, informative annual mail-order catalog, which had a circulation of 1,000 in 1881. In 1883, Son of a Star, a Hidatsa man living at the Fort Berhold Revervation, gave Will a pouch of beans. From that pouch, Will selected beans that he bred over the next three years, developing what he named the Great Northern bean. He introduced it in 1896, and it became his company's most famous introduction. By 1917, Will's seed catalog had a circulation of 120,000.
What do you add to baked beans to make them sweeter other than sugar?
Molasses and corn syrup are commonly used. But they are also both basically sugar, but with different taste results.
Peas are probably around $5.00 at Safeway or anywhere probably. :)
What are the External features of a soaked bean?
After soaking, the outer shaft seperates a bit. You might see some floating in the water. If you do not have the time to soak beans overnight (as many recipes indicate) what I do is put them in a large pan, cover with water, bring to a rapid boil, then turn off the heat and let them set for 1 hour. Rinse them well!
If using salt pork as a flavoring to make bean soup is it best to brown it first?
You can do it either way, cooking it slightly first will bring out more of the flavors of the pork.
Where do heinz baked beans come from?
The real deal Heinz Baked Beans come from the UK, although until 1928, Britain actually imported them from Canada. Folks in the US can order them from various online web sites, including one large bookseller, for about $2 per can, if you can't find them locally. The real Heinz Baked Beans, now called just "Heinz Beanz" (ugh, now even beans are subject to leetspeak spelling?) are not the same as the Vegetarian Baked Beans sold by Heinz in the US, which have 50% more calories due to containing more sugar. Accept no substitutes. Buy the REAL Heinz Baked Beans, not the "southernized" US vegetarian version (if you've ever tasted how sweet iced tea is in the southeast US, you know what I mean by southernized). If you mean, what kind of beans they are, I believe they're haricot beans.
