leguminous
Produces edible pods
Leguminous describes plants of the legume family—peas, beans, lentils, clover, and their relatives.
These plants typically produce seeds in pods and have the ability to fix nitrogen in the soil through symbiotic bacteria in their roots.
Farmers rotate leguminous crops to restore soil fertility.
