Why are beans and peas not classed as the same vegetable, what is the differance?
448011
As others have said, they are both legumes ... so they are closely related but in different genera. Common names are merely conventions that differentiate these plants for the user. Peas and beans have pods (contain seeds, therefore technically fruits) that we gather as food. Beans have relatively long, cylindrical pods and their seeds are either flattened (as in broad beans or lima beans) or elongated (as in soy beans or navy beans). Peas (garden, edible varieties) have relatively shorter, wider pods with rounded seeds.

It is a silly question and waste of time. \nIt is like asking what is the difference between an apple and fruit? between earth and planet? between Bush and president? between baseball and sport? Between shark and fish? The list is end less.\nOrchid is a specific flower or a particular flowering plant.

Is it a human, plant, or animal?  For plant I would have to say that traits of pea plants would work.  Either tall or short, purple or white flowers, yellow or green seeds, and wrinkled or smooth seeds.  This is one of the reasons Gregor Mendel (the father of modern genetics) used pea plants, because they have only two outcomes for any given trait.

Some vegetables are fruits but all the fruits are not vegetables.\n*Fruit is the ripened ovary—together with seeds—of a flowering plant. In many species, the fruit incorporates the ripened ovary and surrounding tissues.\n*Vegetable is a culinary term. Its definition has no scientific value, and is somewhat arbitrary and subjective.Any part of a herbaceous plant that humans eat whole or in part is a vegetable, except for culinary fruits and arguably grains, nuts, herbs, and spices. Also, mushrooms are commonly considered vegetables, despite belonging to a different biological kingdom, namely fungi (which used to be classified as plants).\n\nSo,Botanical fruits that are not vegetables are culinary fruits.

Beans have a high level of carbohydrates & fibres that get eaten up by bacteria in your intestine and produce gas (I've heared mostly nitrogen and methane).

Scientifically, it is a fruit...a fruit has seeds...so does a tomato...thus it is indeed a fruit.\n\nHowever, the reason why it is classified as a tomato is because of its savoury taste...cooks prefer to call it a vegetable for cooking purposes...\n\nAnd since normal people cook more than learn botany, they prefer to call it a vegetable..even though it is...\n\nA FRUIT!

From the cooking point of view, furits have pips -as they develope from the ovary, a part of the flower- and vegetables don't. Vegetables are the edible leaves, seeds, stems, roots or tubers.\n\nBut if you stop to think, vegetable is any plant or edible part of a plant, including fruits.

Peanuts are not really nuts. Nuts grow on trees. Peanuts are legumes, related to beans and peas. Peanuts grow underground. The peanut is the fruit of the plant. It is unusual for the fruit of a plant to grow underground, especially when the flowers grow above ground ( http://clover.okstate.edu/fourh/aitc/lessons/primary/babypnut.pdf )

Possibly because single genes cause single, distinct, visible results. I think the colour of the kernels can be used (red, white or yellow or a mixture of these colours) to decide if the genes are dominant or recessive. In other fruit and vegetables colour is more variable, or depends on several genes. Corn (maze) also grows faster than peas, and certainly faster than apples, and the results can be seen before the ear is ripe, so you don't have to wait as long for the results. \n\nHope this helps

yes they are because stems are also counted as edible portion depending on the type of vegetable. you can found besides fiber are carbohydrates sometimes a lil bit of iron and some micronutrients try to visit www.fnri.gov.ph

It depends on what vocabulary you are using.\n\nCulinarily speaking, a tomato is a vegetable because it is not sweet and is used in the savory portion of a meal, as opposed to fruits like apples, which are sweet and used as sweets.  For a pumpkin, it depends on where you are - some cuisines use pumpkin in the sweet course (like pumpkin pie), while others use it as a savory side dish.\n\nBotanically speaking, it is a fruit. However, "vegetable" is not a term that is used at all in botany. It doesn't refer to a specific plant structure and all botanical terms specify what part of the plant the items comes from. \n\nSo if you are going to insist that a tomato is a fruit, you should also point out that zuchinni and okra are also fruit; spinach is a leaf; rhubarb and celery are stems; carrots, radishes, and turnips are roots; broccoli and cauliflower are both flowers and stems; nuts, grains and legumes are seeds; and potatoes are specialized stems called tubers.

I'm a vegetarian. Lentils are full of protein.  I've posted a link that is awesome and full of tons of great info.

Vegetable-In this case, a leafy green vegetable. Examples would be any species of lettuce, cabbage, kale, spinach, turnip greens, brussel sprouts..

Thank you!\n\nNo, mushrooms are not vegetables.  They are not even plants by any sense of the word.  They do not photosynthesize, they do not seed or bear fruit.  They have just as much (or as little depending if you are a glass half full or half empty person) in common with animals as they do plants.\n\nSpeaking of definitions, a vegetable is not defined by what you find in a salad.  A vegetable refers to the part of a plant that is not directly involved the reproductive cycle of that plant.  A fruit on the other hand is not defined as some sweet that you can put in a cake or serve with ice cream, rather it is the part of the plant that is the result of the reproductive cycle and carries the plant embryo (seed).\n\nExamples:\ntomato = fruit\navocado = fruit\ncoconut = fruit\npinecone = fruit\nbanana = debatable... flower?\ncinnamon (bark) = vegetable\nblade of grass = vegetable\na piece of 2x4 = vegetable\n\n\nEconomically, as mentioned by the answerer above, an edible mushroom can be classified as "food" but not vegetable, fruit, or meat. \n\nEcologically, you can lump a mushroom in with bacteria, mold, worms, maggots, vultures, hyenas, and any other scavanger that comes to mind.

if both are frozen, none is colder than the other\n\nbut of course if you open the bags and leave the peas out, the small peas will heat up faster because of the higher surface area.
