Legumes, including beans, lentils, soybeans, peanuts and peas, are plants with seed pods that split in half. They are an inexpensive, nutritionally dense source of plant protein. Legumes may be counted as a vegetable or as a source of protein in the meat and bean group.
Peanuts, peas, soybeans, and dried beans can also be counted as a meat or protein source. This is most important for vegetarians or individuals who consume limited amounts of meat. Replacing meat and poultry with legumes decreases saturated fat in the diet. Therefore, they help decrease low-density lipoprotein the “bad” cholesterol in the blood, as well as reduce cardiovascular risk.
