A selection of various legumes. A legume (/ËlÉÉ¡juËm/ or /ËlÉËÉ¡juËm/) is a plant or its fruit or seed in the family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae). Legumes are grown agriculturally, primarily for their grain seed called pulse, for livestock forage and silage, and as soil-enhancing green manure.
The legumes class of vegetables is broad, encompassing more than 13,000 varieties of lentils, beans and peas. Much like nuts, legumes are the nutrient-dense seeds of leguminous plants. These seeds are encased in pods, some of which are edible. Most legumes are consumed in their mature form. Dried beans, peas and lentils are mature legume seeds.
