Kobojunkie:
No one is disputing it being equally a rich source of carbohydrates, that much has been known for at least a century. The fact still is that 1 cup of beans contains relatively more fiber, proteins, and nutrients than say 1 cup of rice, potatoes, yam, garri, etc, which are staples on meal tables in even Nigeria.

Well said

bitbillionaire:
The evidence all around us proves that it is true. People who ate a lot of beans while growing up tend to grow taller than those who never liked beans. We can see evidence all around us.

Some people are mentioning genetics but they forget that there is 'nature' and there is 'nurture'. What you lack in nature you can still obtain through nurture.

Meaning, if you have a gene that predispose you to tallness you are bound to be tall no matter what you eat or fail to eat. But if you don't have such gene eating plenty of beans while growing up could help grow taller than you could ordinarily have been.

My opinion though

Nurture imply "environment" not food.

Localemperor:
Is this a misconception or a myth? Why do people associate being tall to eating of beans.

how do i get rid of kerosene from thr beans i bought? I'm scared of cooking n eating d beans

I’ll just save this pic 😍🥹

At 22 years, my head was not touching the upper part of my room door. When I reached 27, I began hitting my head on the door top.

I had to bend a little to pass.


I added more height at 27.


Genetic takes 70%, while external factors take 30%.

I used external factor to gain more height at 27. I did a lot of things before going to bed to attain 6.2.

LoL. Unless you mean a nurturing environment. I will score you 20% for your effort though.

All my three dictionaries tell me that nurture means:

1) "to take care of (someone or something that is growing or developing) by providing food, protection, a place to live, etc".

2) "to encourage or support the development of someone or something"

3) "Nurture is care that is given to someone while they are growing and developing"

That your definition of 'nurture' or what you say it implies is the strangest thing I have ever heard since I was born!

MrCork:



Yesss sir. It make u tall like pole!!

lol, Mr Cork wey use small thing escape from dwarfism, haha... It's only new nairalanders that will believe this ur lie, we that know u, know u ere just catching cruise... See this short man, lol.

Jack the giant slayer keh😁

Mamayam:

Yes it is.
100g of dry beans (not cooked) contains 20+g of protein, and a cup (205g tomato cup) contains above 200g of dry beans.
Calculated, it gives me over 40g of protein per cup.
For 70kg man, a 0.8g/kg of recommended protein intake per weight, gives 56g of protein required.

So a cup of beans after being cooked gives > 70% of recommended protein intake.
So beans is a very rich source of protein.

Where is the experimental source of the information you posted?
You are wrong too.

"On average, legumes contain about 20-25% protein by weight on a dry basis, which is 2-3 times more protein than wheat and rice. However, they tend to be low in the essential amino acid methionine, and sometimes tryptophan.

The content of total carbohydrate, including complex carbohydrates, ranges from 65-72% by weight on a dry basis, of which 85% is composed of starch, while dietary fiber constitutes anywhere from 10-20% of the weight of dried legumes (1)."

If rice is considered a carbohydrate and beans got more carbohydrates than rice. Would it still be logical to consider beans a protein?

Digmygold:


Chicken has higher protein for those who want a good source of protein.

Especially chicken breast and turkey breast. Oh my Jeez!!
Lean meat in general sef.

Endeared:


Add eggs and chicken(major sources of protein)

Dawadawa,green peas,nuts..sources of proteins

You got it.

All these are environmental factors that impact who we are. Nature - Nurture is more of a psychological expression , especially in developmental psychology. Altho, nutrition is kinda subsumed under nurture but influenced by a child's environment.
So , it isn't strange and there will be no need to laugh but also to learn. I have also learnt from all your three dictionaries

It's a belief I bought into for most of my childhood; now beans has become one of my favourite food.

Tallesty1:
I hated beans as a child, so one day I asked my mom why my uncle Moses was so tall. She said that when they were young, my uncle ate more beans than all of them.

Bro, I declared war on beans. I ate beans sotey I fear say e fit grow inside my bele.

Guess what?

I ended up taller than everyone in the family; only Uncle Moses comes close.

Myth or no myth, e no concern me, mine worked.

Wow

Localemperor:
So beans made you tall?

Yes sure. There was changes in my height.

Well I think it is o .. lool. When I was growing up my friends always made jest at me being short and frail. They will tell me I should go and be eating beans. It was a popular saying then. Na so I para for my mom to be cooking beans for me.
I developed love for beans which made it my best food now . By the time we finished secondary d school I was way taller than them . Infact most of them look much smaller than me now . I m 6,2 or 182m...

The way I eat beans, I for tall pass all but see me as average.

Oh?


No problem.

I see the issue now and will ignore you accordingly. I thought it was only a trifling matter over some comments; I did not know you have a case against me stemming from a disagreement.


You can have a great life.

Rice is not a carbohydrate, but rather a good SOURCE of carbohydrate.
Similarly beans is a very good source of protein, and also of carbohydrate, b vitamins etc.

Most food have a high percentage as water leaving the rest nutrients taking less than 50% of the weight.

So any food source that has 20%+ of its mass as any of the food classes, is a very good source of that nutrient.
