A legume (/ËlÉÉ¡juËm/ or /ËlÉËÉ¡juËm/) is a plant in the family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae), or the fruit or seed of such a plant. Legumes are grown agriculturally, primarily for their food grain seed (example beans and lentils, or generally pulse), for livestock forage and silage, and as soil-enhancing green manure.Legumes are notable in that most of them have symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in structures called root nodules. legume fruit is a simple dry fruit that develops from a simple carpel and usually dehisces (opens along a seam) on two sides.
Legumes vs Lentils. Legumes are a family of plants called Fabaceae, or the fruit of this type of plants, which is referred to as pod. Some common legumes eaten in different parts of the world are clover, Alfalfa, peas, lupins, lentils, peanuts etc. Thus, it is clear that lentils are a type, or subcategory of legumes. Legumes are full of proteins and fibers which is why they are a staple food of populations that are vegetarians. People often remain confused by the differences between legumes and lentils. Though lentils are a type of legumes, there are some differences that will be talked about in this article. Lentils have been eaten by mankind since Neolithic times. They come in all sorts of colors such as green, yellow, red, orange, black, brown etc.
