common bean
Kidney bean's family
Common bean is the species that includes most familiar cultivated beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, navy beans, and green beans among them.
Native to the Americas and domesticated thousands of years ago, it remains a staple protein source worldwide.
The name distinguishes these beans from other legumes like soybeans, lentils, or fava beans.
