The word "bean" has existed in Western languages since before the 12th century.[1] Beans are one of history's longest-cultivated plants, having appeared in Thailand as far back as the early seventh millennium BCE. In the Americas, the earliest beans were found in Peru in the second millennium BCE. There are 40,000 different species of beans, though only a few are fit for consumption. They are high in protein, complex carbohydrates, folate, and iron and have often been used as a source of protein in herbivore diets. Many edible beans contain oligosaccharides, which are responsible for the association beans have with flatulence. This was famously parodied in a scene from the Mel Brooks film Blazing Saddles (1974).
