Portuguese; Romanian; Russian; Spanish; Swedish; Tadzhik; Ukrainian; Uzbek Phaseolus vulgaris, the common bean (also known as the string bean, field bean, flageolet bean, French bean, garden bean, green bean, haricot bean, pop bean, or snap bean), is a herbaceous annual plant grown worldwide for its edible dry seed (known as just "beans") or unripe fruit (green beans). Raw or undercooked beans contain the toxin phytohaemagglutinin. Its leaf is also occasionally used as a vegetable and the straw as fodder. Its botanical classification, along with other Phaseolus species, is as a member of the legume family Fabaceae, most of whose members acquire the nitrogen they require through an association with rhizobia, a species of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. |
| Edible [1] | May be edible. See the Plants For A Future link below for details. | | Flower Type [1] | Hermaphrodite | | Hazards [1] | Large quantities of the raw mature seed are poisonous; Children eating just a few seeds have shown mild forms of poisoning with nausea and diarrhoea, though complete recovery took place in 12 - 24 hours; The toxins play a role in protecting the plant from insect predation; | | Lifespan [1] | Annual | | Pollinators [1] | Bees | | Structure [2] | Herb | | Usage [1] | A brown dye is obtained from red kidney beans;
The plant contains phaseolin, which has fungicidal activity;
Water from the cooked beans is very effective in reviving woollen fabrics;
The plant residue remaining after harvesting the dried beans is a source of biomass; |  | | Height [1] | 6.56 feet (2 m) |
