Description: Beans, which have been cultivated for thousands of years in many regions of 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 vines 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. Fresh beans can be frozen, canned or dehydrated. Leave beans on the vine for drying. Nutrients: dietary fiber, protein, vitamins A and C and riboflavin.
