legume-based
Made from beans
Legume-based describes foods, products, or diets that use legumes—beans, lentils, peas, chickpeas, peanuts, and similar plants—as their primary ingredient or foundation.
The term appears frequently in discussions of plant-based eating and protein alternatives: legume-based pasta, legume-based meat substitutes.
Legume-based products have gained popularity as people seek alternatives to animal proteins or wheat-based foods.
