j Beans and other plants of tbe legume
' family nre of tiumen.se lmi>or!uuce be
catLse ol" their ability to furnish tiitro
gen to the soil, to animals and to liu
man beings Certain micro-organisms
living In the roots of rightly cultivated
legumes take up nitrogen from the air
and furnish it to the piaut body. The
plaut Is then either plowed under or
gathered for food If It is plowed un
der the ultrogen increases the fertility
of the soil. If It is used as a forage
crop or a huuinu food the nitrogen fur
nishes material for building tissue.
I The legumes that are most commonly
used for bumnu food are tbe bean, the
pea, the lentil and the peauut These
foods deserve an important place in
the dietary because they furnish the
body with material for the develop
ment and repair of tissues, they help
to keep tbe body in good running or
der, and, generally speaking, tney are
cheaper than other protein foods. The
extent to which the nutrients of the
legumes may be used by the body as
well as the ease with which they may
be digested Is Influenced by the method
of cooking them.
Beans and peas have been used as
human food since early times. Accord
ing to historical records, beans were
cultivated by the Egyptians, the Greeks
and the Romans. Peas do not seem to
have been known to the Greeks and
the Romans. Thoy were Introduced
into Europe In the middle ages, but
even in the time of l>ueen Elizabeth
the English obtained them only from
Holland nd considered them "a duinty
dish for ladles, they came so far and
cost so dear." It is said that before
1000 A. 1). beans were cultivated on
this continent as far north as the St
Lawrence river. It Is evident that both
beans and peas have been cultivated
by the Indians of North and South
America at least since the time of the
early voyages of the white men to this
continent. Of local interest is the fact
that In the United States beans were
flrst grown commercially In Orleans
county, N. Y., in 1830.
The percentage composition of tile
legumes Is Influenced by the form In
which they are used. Thus the forms
In most common use are (1) In the pod.
such ns string beans; i2) shelled, such
as green peas and green lima beaus;
(3) shelled and dried, such as navy
beans, kidney beans, lima beans, peas
and lentils. In a given weight of these
three forms there Is the least amount
of water in those that are dried; conse
quently the percentage of protein and
other nutrients Is higher than In the
cose of fresh legumes. The added
amount of carbohydrate contained In
the pods also tends to decrease the per
centage of protein in the fresh un
shelled legume, such as the striug bean
This concentration of nutrients Is
shown in the dried beau, for example,
which contains JJU.S i!»*r cpiit nrotein In
contrast to 2.3 jvr cent eoutained by
the fresh string boan.
Fat Is often combined with tbe leg
umes In such dishes ns bnked beans
and pork and split pens and bacon.
This gives a disb In which protein, fat
and carbohydrates arc well represent
ed. Since, as is often mentioned, fat
tends to retard tbe digestion of protein
in'the stomach, a meal In which the
two are combined will tiud to postpone
the feeling of liuuger and consequently
is especially good when one wisbe9
food that will "stand by" him. as when
there Is strenuous outdoor work to be
done. Also fat. as well as vegetables I
of pronounced flavor, such as onions
and tomatoes, improves the flavor of
the dried legumes, which are flat
