Beans

What are Beans?

Beans is a common name for large plant seeds of several genera of the family Fabaceae used for human food or animal feed. [1]



History

Beans are one of the longest-cultivated plants, broad beans having been grown at least since ancient Egypt, and the common bean for six thousand years in the Americas. [1]

Many modern dry beans come from old-world varieties of broad beans, but most of the kinds commonly eaten fresh come from the Americas, being first seen by Christopher Columbus during his conquest of a region of what may have been the Bahamas, where they were grown in fields. [1]
