American plant whose fruit pods are edible. Its scientific name is phaseolus vulgaris, from the latin phaseolus, which takes him from the Greek x3C6; x3B1; x3C3; x3B7; x3BB; x3BF; x3C2; (pháselos "pea"). It should be noted that the 'bean' shape is most widely used in Peru, 'beans' in Ecuador and 'beans' in Mexico.
