bean

1. Bean
   The popular name of other vegetable seeds or fruits, more or less resembling true beans.

1. (n) bean
   Originally and properly, a smooth kidney-shaped seed, flattened at the sides, borne in long pods by a leguminous plant, Vicia Faba; now extended to include the seed of the allied genus Phaseolus, and, with a specific epithet, of other genera.
2. (n) bean
   The plant producing beans. The bean known to the ancients from prehistoric times was the Vicia Faba (or Faba vulgaris), a native of western Asia, and the same as the field-, horse-, or tick-bean, and the broad or Windsor bean, still largely cultivated in the fields and gardens of the old world. It is used when green as a table-vegetable, and when dry as feed for horses and sheep. The numerous other kinds of cultivated beans are of American origin, and belong chiefly to the genus Phaseolus. To P. vulgaris belong the common kidney-bean, and the haricot and French beans, the string-bean, and the pole-bean; to P. lunatus, the Lima and Carolina beans, the sugar-bean, and the butter-bean; and to P. nanus, the dwarf, field-, bush-, navy-, pea-, and six-weeks beans. To the same genus belong the wild kidney-bean, P. perennis; the scarlet-runner bean, P. multiflorus, cultivated for its scarlet flowers; and the prairie-bean of Texas, P. retusus. The asparagus-bean, Dolichos sesquipedalis, with very long cylindrical pods, frequently cultivated in Europe, is a native of tropical America. Beans as an article of food are very nutritious, containing much starch and a large percentage of a nitrogenous compound called legumin, analogous to the casein in cheese. The name bean is also given to many leguminous seeds which are not cultivated or used as food, such as the algarroba, Calabar, and coral beans, and to certain other plants and their seeds which are not leguminous at all, as the coffee-bean.
3. (n) bean
   A small oval or roundish seed, berry, nut, or lump: as, a coffee-bean.
4. (n) bean
   plural In coal-mining, small coals; specifically, coals which will pass through a screen with half-inch meshes.
5. (n) bean
   plural Money.
6. bean
   See bein.
7. (n) bean
   The seed of the bean-tree or Moreton Hay chestnut, Castanospermum australe, which, though poisonous when green, is rendered harmless by cooking and forms part of the diet of the aborigines.

1. (n) Bean
   bēn the name of several kinds of leguminous plants and their seeds: applied also to the seeds of some other plants, from their bean-like form, as the Calabar bean, &c
