Description: Beans, which have been cultivated for thousands of years throughout the world, are part of the legume family. They grow in pods and come in a huge profusion of colors and forms. They are eaten both fresh and dried and grow on plants that can stand alone (bush beans) or on vines (pole and runner beans) which need trellising of some kind. They have the ability to fix nitrogen in the soil and, thus, make good rotation partners in the garden for plants with a high requirement for nitrogen. Leave beans on the vines to dry. Nutrients: dietary fiber, protein, vitamins A and C and riboflavin.
