What is the difference between a bean and a legume?

Well...first things first.
How do you pronounce legume? ˈleɡˌyo͞om or ləˈɡyo͞om are the correct pronunciations. Next question...what is a legume? Basically, a legume is any plant that bears its fruit inside a pod. Beans are considered a legume, but not all legumes are considered beans. Some commonly eaten legumes include: 
  • Soy nuts
  • Black beans
  • Chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
  • Fava beans
  • Edamame
  • Lentils
  • Kidney beans
  • Lima beans
  • Peanuts
  • Green beans
  • Carob
  • Sugar snap peas
  • Butter beans
  • Wax beans
So all of these are considered legumes but not all of them are beans. Can you identify which legumes are not beans? Beth Asaff has written a nice short article on legumes if you are
​interested in learning more. You can view it Here.

​Have a great day! Ellie
