Legumes
Beans, peas and lentils are legumes. Legumes are dried seeds of leguminous legumes.
The seeds develop in a pod, also called a shell. This covering was the pistil of the butterfly flower.
In their unripe, green state, various types of legumes are consumed as vegetables, such as green beans, string beans, snow peas and peas. When we talk about dried legumes, we mean the dried seeds.
There are hundreds of varieties of legumes.
The cultivation and production of legumes is sustainable and has a low climate impact.
The consumption of legumes, instead of meat, is less harmful to the environment.
The roots of leguminous plants, which include legumes, loosen the soil. Legumes make few demands on the soil type. They can grow on dry and poor soil types. They attract nitrogen-fixing bacteria. These bacteria can fix nitrogen from the air, which the plant can then use for growth. This is a natural form of fertilization. If you grow leguminous plants on depleted soil for 2 years, you can then use the soil for other crops for 3 years.
