Usage notes

[edit]

Beans andpeas are sometimes misidentified (confused with one another); they are both legumes (belonging to the familyFabaceae) and seeds. The wordbean has referred to a wide class of seeds sincepre-Columbian times (when only the Eurasian types were known to Germanic language speakers), but, after Columbian contact, it was extended to other seeds belonging to the New World genusPhaseolus (runner beans,lima beans, and so on; seebean § Terminology for details). The fruits or seeds of some other non-Fabaceae plants (e.g., coffee beans, cocoa beans, vanilla beans, castor beans) are also referred to as beans, because of their resemblance to beans as named in the stricter sense.

Peas are a type of bean with smaller, round seeds in the pod, in contrast to the oval or kidney-shaped seeds usually referred to asbeans. Because both terms are applied to a wide range of different legumes, the distinction is not always clear:garbanzo bean is a synonym ofchickpea.
