 | | The seeds of legumes are often large and filled by the cotyledons of the embryo plant, with a small root and shoot system between them.The plants may be harvested when the seeds are ripe and the pod is dry as in the case of peas and beans. | | | Legumes consists of a large family of flowering plants (Leguminosea), ranging from trees (acacia, carob, tamarind) to vegetables (beans, lentils, peas) and forage crops (clover, alfalfa). | | | Legumes are somewhat a better source of calcium, iron, thiamin, and riboflavin than cereals. |

| | Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) are an annual grain legume or "pulse" crop that originated in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East. | | | Grass weeds are easier to manage in chickpeas, and rotating to pulse crops such as chickpeas may improve grass weed management in small grain. | | | The term "pulse" originates from the Latin word puls, meaning "thick soup." Pulse crops like chickpeas, dry beans, dry peas, fababeans, lentils and lupine work with rhizobia bacteria to convert nitrogen from the atmosphere into nitrogen nodules on the plant roots. |
