beans are not a veggie. they are legume, but please keep eating them.. beans are great!

veggies are nutrient dense, filling and oh so good for you.0 -
I don't think beans count as a veggie. They are a legume, like peanuts!
However, they are still very yummy!0 -

-runs off to google-
Legumes can be fruit, seeds or grains... interesting.
When I think of beans I think protein! LOL. But some are also high carb. So much to learn still. I try to keep my carbs low but I'm thinking beans probably fall into complex carb which is much better than simple, processed, sugary or starchy carb.
Sorry for the thread steal... back to veggies!! :blushing:0 -
