Why beans?
Why beans?
Bean seeds are large and easy to handle, and they germinate quickly. Seed can easily be saved from plants each year, and can be stored for long periods of time.
Beans are nutritious! Not only are they a good source of protein (about 22%), beans are also rich in fiber, minerals (such as zinc and iron), and B vitamins (such as folic acid).
Beans are delicious and are used in a wide variety of cuisines. They can be eaten or canned green (with pods on), fresh (with pods removed), and dry (as soup beans).
