A selection of various legumes. A legume (/ËlÉÉ¡juËm/ or /ËlÉËÉ¡juËm/) is a plant or fruit/seed in the family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae). Legumes are grown agriculturally, primarily for their grain seed called pulse, for livestock forage and silage, and as soil-enhancing green manure. Well-known legumes include alfalfa, clover, peas, beans, lentils, lupin bean, mesquite, carob, soybeans, peanuts, and tamarind.
Pulses are also known as legumes, used as a food for humans and other animals worldwide. They are annual leguminous crops yielding from pods with one to twelve seeds. When compared to cereals, pulses are rich in proteins and essential amino acids.
