New page

*Hilum-- the scar on a seed at the spot where it used to be attached to the pod (like the botanical equivalent of a belly button)

*Horticultural-- New England term for a bean eaten in both the shelly and dry stages

*Shelly-- beans eaten at the stage where they're mostly but not all the way mature, so they're still soft-ish and full of moisture, and often not fully pigmented. The bean equivalent of garden/English/shelling peas.

+*'''Cut-short, or Cutshort'''-- Common Bean varieties where the seeds grow all crowded and pressed up against each other inside their pods. Their ends flatten where they press against each other, giving them a square-ish appearance like their ends have been cut off.
 *'''Dry Bean'''-- Also called a soup bean.  Beans that are used when they're fully mature; hard and dry and capable of being stored for a long time.  Technically you could use any bean as a dry bean, though some snap bean varieties would have a frustratingly slow, small harvest.
@@ Line 11: / Line 13: @@
 *'''Full Beans'''-- Snap beans that have been allowed to get "lumpy" with the developing seeds inside.  Most old-timey Appalachian-style beans are tender-hulled and are meant to be eaten this way.  For a more detailed description please check out [http://www.heirlooms.org/bean-terminology.html Sustainable Mountain Agriculture Center's glossary].
-*'''Greasy Beans'''-- Beans that lack the usual short fussy hairs on their pods, giving them a shiny appearance like they're slick with grease.  Nothing to do with the taste or texture!  These are all old-fashioned varieties particularly associated with the Appalachias.

 *'''Half-runner'''-- A climbing/pole plant that's on the "short" side.  Kind of a nonspecific term (unless you start fooling around with calling things quarter-runners and eighth-runners) that can indicate a plant that grows to anywhere between 4-10 feet.  This is in contrast to "full-size" runners which grow pretty much to infinity.  This term is purely about growth habit and doesn't reflect any hybridization with Runner Beans (<i>Phaseolus coccineus</i>).

 *'''Horticultural'''-- New England term for a bean eaten in both the shelly and dry stages
-*'''Lima Bean'''-- A member of the species <i>Phaseolus lunatus</i>.  In some regions of the US, Lima bean refers only to the large-seeded varieties in the species, and butterbean to the smaller-seeded.
