A legume in botanical writing is a plant in the family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae), or a fruit of these specific plants. A legume fruit is a simple dry fruit that develops from a simple carpel and usually dehisces (opens along a seam) on two sides. A common name for this type of fruit is a pod, although "pod" is also applied to a few other fruit types, such as vanilla and radish. Well-known legumes include alfalfa, clover, peas, beans, lentils, lupins, mesquite, carob, soy, and peanuts. Locust trees (Gleditsia or Robinia), wisteria, and the Kentucky Coffeetree (Gymnocladus dioicus) are all legumes. From Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "Legumes" How do they measure the effects of phosphorus on the rate of nitrogen fixation in legumes? Q. How can you measure how much effect phosphorus has on the rate of Nitrogen fixation? Because, phosphorus is needed in the plant to perform other such functions, to simply measure the growth of the plant would be inaccurate. How do they measure it? Do they just count the number of nodules? Or is there a better way of getting actual quantitative measurements? Asked by Islander - Wed Feb 11 04:52:39 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'm not real up on the literature about N fization, but I do know that the enzyme Nitrogenase, which fixes N, can be assayed by using its ability to reduce acetylene. I would think, though, that the number of nodules would be as important as the activity of the enzyme within the nodules. Answered by thg - Wed Feb 11 10:23:47 2009 What's the best and healthful way to cook legumes and bean and grains? Q. without losing any of their contents? Asked by stefano7000 - Thu Jul 19 14:03:45 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. For dried ones, they have to be simmered in water for quite a long time to get them tender. Wash the legumes/beans well and pick out any rocks that might have gotten in with them (it does happen!). Place in a pan at least three times larger than the amount of beans you have because they will swell while cooking. Cover with cold water well above the top of the beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until tender (it may take up to two hours, depending on the beans). Add salt toward the end to taste. You may have to add more water but be sure it's boiling when you add so as not to reduce the cooking temperature. For grains, follow directions on the package. When cooked, they shouldn't lose nutrients if you don't drain them. Answered by Gram - Thu Jul 19 15:16:51 2007 I need to make a large sliced-beef casserole -- no beans, legumes, or green veggies. Any ideas?
Q. I have several food allergies and intolerances, so beans and green veggies are out. I often make a pasta casserole, but would appreciate any input with fresh ideas. The beef's cooking now, but I'm stymied as to what to do with it. Any ideas? Asked by thejanith - Sun Oct 12 19:14:44 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. How about some onion brown rice. A can of French onion soup add some chopped garlic and more onions or scallions. After the soup and contents have boiled add your rice. Cooks about 15 to 25 minutes depending how much you make usually it makes about 2-4 servings. Answered by Edie - Sun Oct 12 20:48:08 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Legumes" |
