beans

Chili's protein base

Beans are seeds that grow in pods—kidney beans, black beans, lima beans, green beans.

They're a dietary staple worldwide, high in protein and fiber.

To spill the beans is to reveal a secret.

Not worth a bean means worthless.

In slang, beans can mean money, pills (especially stimulants), or a small amount: I don't know beans about cars.

To bean someone is to hit them on the head.
