Wrigley Jr. Co., which is based in Chicago, was acquired by privately-held Mars Inc. in 2008. Skittles now fall under the Wrigley umbrella. This is the first time since the Wrigley acquisition that U.S. production capacity for Skittles has expanded.
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 are the seeds of the plant and are eaten in their immature form as green peas and beans, and the mature form as dried peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas. Vegetables can be broken up into different groups, with each group providing their own unique nutrients.
