Depending upon the country some of the legumes are included in the field crops category, others are included under horticultural crops, while still others are included in the oilseeds crop group. However, in many of the monographs dealing with vegetable legumes published in different countries almost all these crops are treated as vegetable crops. Leguminous vegetables are used as fresh pod, immature seed and mature dry seed, and majority of these vegetables are also canned and frozen for the market. Some of the legume seeds are sprouted and are popular in many Asian countries. any legumes are also processed. In international trade leguminous vegetables play an important role. Dry seeds, canned and frozen foods, and processed food products from leguminous vegetables enter the international market where they are important commodities for foreign exchange. Botany Legumes are dicotyledonous annuals or perennials. There are about 480 genera and more than 12,000 species in the family Leguminosae (commonly called the pea family). As a group they contain at least 28 different vegetable crops belonging to 18 genera. Almost all the vegetable crops belong to the subfamily Papilionaceae. When the seeds germinate, in some legumes, the cotyledons remain inside the soil due to limited elongation of the hypocotyl. Such germination is referred to as hypogeal germination. Example: peas, Pisum sativuin L. In other instances, as in the case of soybean (Glycine max L. (Merr.) and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) the cotyledons are pushed above the soil surface by the rapid elongation and growth of the hypocotyl. Such germination is called epigeal germination. 2
