Which food group do beans come into?

Are beans a pulse, and therefore in the protein food group, or a vegetable like peas? What about baked beans?

dunno, I thought beans and peas were vegetables but beans are one to which special food group rules apply, same as for potatos.

Beams on the other hand are dangerous, except in moderation.

If a thing's worth saying, it's definitely worth saying twice. Once for each beam.
Norge? Nej, Filly. Extremely amateurish Swedish. I believe they're similar though.

I would count beans as carbs, with some protein in them. (But food group is a bit subjective, and some things can be in more than one, I'd think.)

And peas count as vegetables, more than beans do, because peas are (generally) not dried. They retain more vitamins etc because they're generally fresh or frozen, which is better than dried.
