"Beans -- legumes -- first appeared in southeast Asia during the late Neolithic era, at least 10,000 years ago.
Beans are one of the longest-cultivated plants, broad beans having been grown at least since ancient Egypt, green beans for six thousand years in the Americas.
Many modern dry beans come from old-world varieties of broad beans, but most of the kinds commonly eaten fresh come from the Americas, being first seen by Christopher Columbus during his conquest of a region of what may have been the Bahamas, where they were grown in fields"
