Description
About the Issue

Description

Beans are a prime source of plant-based protein that have always appeared on lists of “superfoods.” Efficient to cultivate, these protein-rich crops have been farmed throughout history and used in ways that contributed greatly to human food culture. In big bean-consuming countries like Korea and China, beans become tofu, pastes, and sauces for daily consumption, and they enjoy a high status as a food staple alongside rice. Beans, having paved the way to development of fermentation techniques, are now applauded by world-renowned chefs as being a key ingredient to enhance flavor. Amid growing concerns over the environment and food security around the globe, beans serve an increasingly important role as an alternative to animal-based protein.

From its birthplace in Northeast Asia, the bean is important for everyday dishes in the Middle East and parts of South America. Relatively easy to grow and highly nutritious, this seed ingredient’s preperations up have grown exponentially over the millennia. Surprisingly, the bean has no religious, ideological, or environmental associations. Owing to this freedom, many predict that the ingredient will greatly influence the future of human food culture as an indispensable food source and promising ingredient substitution.
