	Bean @ iCookClub.com
		Bean is a common name for large plant seeds of several genera of Fabaceae (formerly Leguminosae) used for food or feed.
		Bean originally meant the seed of the broad bean, but was later broadened to include members of the genus Phaseolus such as the common bean or haricot and the runner bean and the related genus Vigna.
		Bean can be used as a near synonym of pulse, an edible legume, though the term "pulses" is usually reserved for leguminous crops harvested for their dry grain.
