In one of my posts about genetics on this forum I argued that elementary biology or science in general has only been structured to introduce the unlearned mind to the basics in a way that they find it interesting without loosing interest.
Realistically, some of what we have learned in elementary science do not always conform with what is present in nature. Not that they are wrong but truth is always complex. Note that.
.
Back to your question. The simple answer us that beans is a carbohydrate food. Combined with fibers there are about 60℅ - 75% of carbohydrates in beans and just about 25% of proteins.
.
This is why the choice of textbooks for elementary science is equally as important.
"Beans is a source if protein" would be very correct because even at 25%, beans is relatively very high in protein content.
.
However "beans is a protein" might not be so much on the right lane.
.
In comparison soya bean which has one of the highest amount of proteins in the 'beans family' has up to 36% protein and 35% carbohydrate.
.
However when you look at nature, it is very hard for any plant or food to not contain carbohydrates which are like the major components of all organic matter. This is why a percentage composition of other nutrients in sufficient quantity (relatively) regardless of their percentage composition in direct relation to that of carbohydrates, in any food is sufficient enough to say that food is rich in that nutrient.
.
The logic here is that carbohydrates are present in almost every food, so except they take over 90% percentage composition of that food, we can as well overlook them.
.
Did you know? Meat is 75% water, 19% protein and 1.2% carbohydrates....

60-80 % nutrient content of bean is carbohydrates while protein is just 20-30% (Depending on the variety of bean).
Beans are normally said to be a good source of protein but that doesn't mean it is a proteinous food.

People who have posted above have said it all, beans like they said is a Source of both protein and carbohydrate but containing a higher percentage of carbohydrates to protein.
Re: Are Beans Carbohydrates Or Protein by Tokskob2008: 2:15pm On Sep 02, 2021
One general characteristics of carbohydrates is the sticky nature which am sure we all know beans is also guilty of but it also has a high quantity of protein too. Not until my anatomy lecturer actually classified beans under carbohydrates that I reasoned it that far.
