The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is an annual legume native to the Americas, grown both for its green pods and for its dry seeds. There are dwarf and climbing varieties, with white, pink or violet flowers and pods of various colours. The seeds are rich in plant protein, fibre and minerals, while the young pods are prized as a fine vegetable. Like all legumes, beans enrich the soil with nitrogen through symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. It is an easy, heat-loving crop, essential to traditional diets worldwide.
