Phytohaemagglutinin?

This toxic substance is present in many beans and must be eliminated by cooking the beans before consumption. Is it present in other legumes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.202.33.17 (talk) 16:13, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"pulse"

An etymology for "pulses" would be nice. And where does that strange word, unusual in everyday use, suddenly come from. --BjKa (talk) 07:28, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History section

It strikes me as odd that the first mention of the Americas references the US, whereas beans have been a staple within the Americans since well before the colonisation. I don’t know nearly enough about American legumes to do this myself, but hopefully someone else is willing to edit the history section to broaden its scope.

Yes. I've cut some of the soybean stuff, and added a bit about beans more generally. The section is still poorly-structured and unbalanced, but a bit better than it was. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:53, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
