legume
(once / 7415 pages)
n

A legume is not your regular type of fruit; it's more like a pod. Peas, beans, and peanuts are all examples of legumes.
A legume is a type of food that comes from a specific type of plant that is also called a legume. Legumes come from the family Leguminosae, and a trait all legumes share is that they grow in a type of pod. A bowl of pea soup is full of legumes, and so is a bag of peanuts. Lentils, soy, and clover are all legumes. Legumes are high in protein and not very fatty, so they are generally considered healthy.
WORD FAMILY
legume: legumes, leguminous
USAGE EXAMPLES
