Beans are one of the oldest cultivated crops. They have wonderful flavors and textures and pack a nutritional wallop. Compared to most crops, they have relatively few enemies and require minimum care. The harvested plants and pods go right back into the soil as "green manure."
They're lovely to look at and yet in many cultures they've been reserved as food fit for only economically depressed- until now.
