In popular use, a legume is called a pod, or cod; as, pea pod, or peas cod.
The best form in which legumes can be taken is in their green or immature state, owing to the fact that the immature starch they contain is readily soluble, while mature legume starch is rather difficult to digest.

In fact, spring grass may be as good an animal feed as alfalfa or other legume hay.
So the entire legume must be tilled in if any net nitrogen gain is to be realized.
About Common Materials Alfalfa is a protein-rich perennial legume mainly grown as animal feed.
Summer legume crops, like cowpeas and snap beans, tend to be net consumers of nitrates, not makers of more nitrates than they can use.

This may be accomplished by adding soil from an area where the legume does well to the new area, or the seed may be inoculated with commercial cultures before seeding.
Each legume has its own type of nodule-forming bacteria.
If it is not known that the legume to be planted has been grown successfully in a given field within the previous several years, the precaution of adding the proper bacteria should be taken.
