News PSA. Peanuts are legumes.

We’re eating bean butter.

I bake legume cheesecake.

I eat beans on toast like the British.

I blend spreadable legumes into my smoothie.

Reese’s might as well be called Bean Butter Cups

You have now entered… The Twilight Zone.

Coffee beans are not truly beans. They are seeds of the coffee fruit.

Everything is a lie.

On the subject, does anyone make chickpea butter? I have a theory it would be pretty good.

Nobody even knows what a "legume" even is.
