Legumes are very valuable, high-protein food. These include, among others, soybeans and chickpeas with large, light-beige seeds, lentils (green, red, yellow, and black) and various species of beans. When talking about beans, it is worth mentioning dark-red azuki beans and mung beans, characterized by small, green seeds. Annuals belonging to the family of Fabaceae are rich in vitamins and many minerals and for that reason they should be often eaten - especially on a meatless diet.
