Beans and its protein distribution?

Question

i know that beans are good source of protein. but where is the main source, is it the seeds, or the pods, or both? tks.

Answer 1

It's mainly the seeds but the pods have some protein to, oh and it's not the best thing to be feeding your tortoise a lot of it either but maybe a couple of seeds once or twice a week is a good amount. Good Luck

Answer 2

The seeds have protein. I'm not sure about the pods, but I would guess they have less. They seem to be a lot of fiber.

Answer 3

Just the seeds have protein - the pods are inedible when the beans are mature.  If you eat green beans you are actually eating the immature bean pod - green beans have less protein than dried beans as a result.
