Note: "Phaseolus vulgaris, also known as the common bean and French bean, is a herbaceous annual plant grown worldwide for its edible dry seeds or unripe fruit (both commonly called beans). The main categories of common beans, on the basis of use, are:

dry beans (seeds harvested at complete maturity),

snap beans (tender pods with reduced fibre harvested before the seed development phase), and

shell (shelled) beans (seeds harvested at physiological maturity).

Its leaf is also occasionally used as a vegetable and the straw as fodder. Its botanical classification, along with other Phaseolus species, is as a member of the legume family Fabaceae. Like most members of this family, common beans acquire the nitrogen they require through an association with rhizobia, which are nitrogen-fixing bacteria." - (en.wikipedia.org 31.01.2021)
