| Beans |
| Seeded pods of various legumes. They come in two broad categories: fresh and dried. The three most commonly available fresh bean varieties are: green beans, lima beans and fava beans, which are eaten shelled. Dried beans are available pre-packaged or in bulk. Some of the most popular dried beans are black beans, chickpeas, kidney beans, pink beans and pinto beans. Dried beans must usually be soaked in water for several hours to rehydrate them before cooking in saltless water. |
