Edible legumes

I was in the garden again. The damp soil running through my fingers. The water soaking through the knees of my jeans. I weeded around my beans, feeling the dirt under my fingernails and in the creases of my palms. My first few days here I just watched, unsure of the unspoken rules that hovered over the garden. Then, one day, I walked over to a girl. She was almost my age and tended to 2 rows of lima beans. I don’t know if it was the way not only she but her plants seemed to tremble in the wind on cold days or her diligence in keeping those plants alive or even the innocence in her pale green lima bean sprouts, but something about that girl, something about her plants made me trust her. Trust that she wouldn’t laugh if broke the unspoken rules. Trust that she wouldn’t mock me if I made a fool of myself. And now, almost a month later, I know that I was right to trust her. I know that I was right to walk over and kneel down in the dirt next to her and wait until she looked up from her lima beans and smile at her. Someday’s I don’t walk home until it's dark and the streetlights have began to flicker, and someday’s I go home before the sun has risen overhead and my shadow pools at my bare feet. No matter what time I leave my routine is always the same. Walk the two blocks to Mrs. Evans house, clean my hands and feet using the hose on the side of the house, and sit down with Mrs. Evans in the living room where she sits in her rocking chair. She sits in her rocking chair and…

Callosobruchus maculatus are not considered directly harmful to humans; although, as an insect pest they damage millions of tons of human food crops in the form of legumes every year (Torres et al. 2016). Physically, they are small beetles, approximately 3.5 mm long. Because Callosobruchus maculatus larvae feed and develop exclusively on the seeds of legumes, the beetles are commonly referred to as "bean beetles." Adult Callosobruchus maculatus have a very short lifespan of 6 to 14 days…

groups: vegetables, grains, legumes and fruit. These foods need to be unprocessed or lightly processed or else they meander over into being considered highly processed foods, which we discussed in the previous chapter. So while it’s acceptable to make flour out of grains, legumes and fruits (chickpea flour, wheat flour, banana flour), it’s not okay to processes them to the point to which they are no longer nutritious. Remember the major processed foods items: oil, refined grains and salt. If a…

his ideas from textbooks, Diamond “patiently explained to [his] companions that [he] had read about some mushrooms being poisonous” and that he has heard of “even American mushroom collectors dying because of difficulty of distinguishing safe from dangerous mushrooms” (Diamond 17).

Protests about saving the earth is all over the internet if searched, and recycling is most often always reinforced in public school across America as well as the idea of wasting the things we’re ever so blessed to obtain. However, within the big picture of what could result from global warming, ocean acidification, and all other world-polluting occurrences, the measurement and discovery about what has already resulted is not as publicized… at least not in regards to the backbone of all…

Hypothetical Example of Common Sense vs. Skepticism Common sense can be described as trusting our senses and accepting what we know as knowledge. Skepticism is nearly the opposite and can be described as questioning or doubting unempirical knowledge, beliefs, or opinions stated as facts and refrains from claims of truth or knowledge. Skepticism, however, does not state that truth or knowledge is impossible. The difference between these two philosophical ideas can be seen in examples of…

type of society, there is always a guarantee of access to food at locations like grocery stores and restaurants. As a hunter-gatherer, there is no guarantee that one will find any edible plants to eat or animals to hunt. Agriculture can also sustain a much larger communities than hunting and gathering can. Since a large mass of land is used exclusively for food production and it taken to where it is needed, people are able to live away from the food resources.…
