Bean is a common name for large plant seeds of several genera of Fabaceae (formerly Leguminosae) used for food or feed. They are also known as legumes in the US and pulses in the UK.Although "beans" usually means the seeds of bean plants, it can also mean (especially in the USA) the whole young pods of bean plants, which if picked before the pods ripen and dry, can be tender enough to eat whole, whether cooked or raw. Thus the word "green beans" means "green" in the sense of unripe, as the beans inside the pods of green beans are often too small to form a significance part of the cooked vegetable.
