Legumey

And there were birds, mostly brown and gray with some black and drab, although once Cory saw one that was as green as the broad field of legumey stuff on their right.

The shells turn soggy, and the peanuts take on a fresh, legumey flavor and texture more reminiscent of, say, a salty kidney bean than a traditional roasted goober.

Weedy, legumey notes on the nose are offset slightly by cream and flour.

I heartily recommend buying dried chickpeas and cooking them at home (page 35): the ready-cooked canned ones don’t have the same legumy taste.

As I approached the Commons, I detected the foul legumey odor of cooking peas, my most hated vegetable, unless it’s in a pod and crunchy, and I’m eating Chinese food, like beef with snow pea pods.

Peanuts flew everywhere, little legumey pellets spitting into patrons, mirror, and floor like machine gun bullets.

Because of the unpleasant “legumey” taste of raw beans, it is best to pulse in a food processor and rinse off the starch.
