    The document discusses the legume Lathyrus sativus, commonly known as grass pea. It is an important crop grown in drought-prone areas that produces reliable yields when other crops fail, though it contains a neurotoxin that can cause illness if consumed as a primary protein source long-term. The document also defines and provides examples of other legumes like beans, peanuts, tamarind, and alfalfa.

    Lathyrus sativus

    Lathyrus sativus, also known as grass pea, cicerchia, blue sweet pea, chickling
    pea, chickling vetch, Indian pea,[2] white pea[3] and white vetch,[4] is
    a legume (family Fabaceae) commonly grown for human consumption
    and livestock feed in Asia and East Africa.[5] It is a particularly important crop in areas
    that are prone to drought and famine, and is thought of as an 'insurance crop' as it
    produces reliable yields when all other crops fail. The seeds contain a neurotoxin that
    causes lathyrism, a neurodegenerative disease, if eaten as a primary protein source for
    a prolonged period.
    LEGUM

    Legume
    A legume is a
    plant in the family
    Fabaceae, or the
    fruit or seed of
    such a plant. When used as a dry grain, the seed is also called a pulse. Legumes are grown
    agriculturally, primarily for human consumption, for livestock forage and silage, and as soil-
    enhancing green manure. Well-known legumes include beans, soybeans, chickpeas, peanuts,
    lentils, lupins, grass peas, mesquite, carob, tamarind, alfalfa, and clover. Legumes produce a
    botanically unique type of fruit – a simple dry fruit that develops from a simple carpel and
    usually dehisces on two sides.

    Bean
    A bean is the seed of several plants in the family Fabaceae, which are used
    as vegetables for human or animal food. They can be cooked in many different ways,
    including boiling, frying, and baking, and are used in many traditional dishes throughout
    the world.
    Peanut

    The peanut belongs to the botanical family (or Leguminosae), commonly known as the
    legume, bean, or pea family. Like most other legumes, peanuts
    harbor symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in root nodules. The capacity to fix nitrogen
    means peanuts require less nitrogen-containing fertilizer and improve soil fertility,
    making them valuable in crop rotations.
    Tamarind

    Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) is a leguminous tree bearing edible fruit that is


    indigenous to tropical Africa and naturalized in Asia. The
    genus Tamarindus is monotypic, meaning that it contains only this species. It belongs to
    the family Fabaceae.
    Alfalfa

    Alfalfa, also called lucerne, is a perennial flowering plant in


    the legume family Fabaceae. It is cultivated as an important forage crop in many
    countries around the world. It is used for grazing, hay, and silage, as well as a green
    manure and cover crop.
    Root vegetable

    Root vegetables are underground plant parts eaten by humans as food.,
