Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which bean might remind you of a volcano?

Answer: fava bean

Fava rhymes with lava, which is the product of a volcanic eruption. Also called 'broad beans' or 'field beans', fava beans are high in protein and have a rich meaty taste. They were first grown in north Africa and southwest Asia.

2. Which bean might remind you of South America?

Answer: lima bean

Lima is the capital of Peru, which is in western South America. Lima beans are high in protein and fiber. Lima beans can grow either as a bush bean or a vine bean. They are also sometimes called butter beans.

3. Which bean might remind you of a body part?

Answer: kidney bean

Kidney beans are also called 'red beans' or 'chili beans'. Used in recipes such as red beans and rice and chili con carne, kidney beans have a strong taste and texture. There is no such thing as 'heart beans'!

4. What bean do a lot of people grind in the morning for a hot drink?

Answer: coffee bean

Coffee beans are usually sold by the pound at coffee shops and supermarkets. Until the beans are needed to make coffee, they can be kept in the refrigerator or freezer. The coffee bean is actually the seed of the coffee plant, which is believed to have first grown in Ethiopia.

5. What bean might remind you of a horse?

Answer: pinto bean

Pinto beans are quite often used in burritos. The Spanish name, 'frijol pinto', means painted bean. They are also called 'cowboy beans' in Texas. The pinto bean is the most common bean in the United States and in northwestern Mexico.

6. Which bean would you eat for a dessert or a sweet snack?

Answer: jelly bean

Jelly beans come in many flavors, but mostly in fruit flavors. One of President Ronald Reagan's favorite snacks was licorice jelly beans. The main ingredient in jelly beans is sugar.

7. Which bean makes me think of ships?

Answer: navy bean

Navy beans are usually sold dried, and are soaked before cooking. They are popular in soups and baked bean recipes. They have a mild taste and a dense texture. Also called 'Boston beans', 'pea beans' and 'Yankee beans', they were once a staple food in the U.S. navy.

8. Which bean makes you think of the opposite of white?

Answer: black bean

Black beans are very popular in South America and Mexico. They are also called 'black turtle beans'. Black beans have a meaty texture, and taste a bit like mushrooms. They work well as a meat substitute in vegetarian dishes.

9. Which bean is sometimes used as a nickname for someone who is tall and thin?

Answer: string bean

String beans are also called 'pole beans', 'runner beans' and 'snap beans'. They grow on tall plants that are held up by wooden or metal supports. String beans are pods with small seeds inside, and by pulling the 'string' along the side of the pod, the pods can be opened. There are also stringless varieties of string beans.

10. Which bean is used in many types of candy bars?

Answer: cocoa bean

Cocoa beans are from the cacao tree, and are used to make chocolate and cocoa. They are called beans after the cacao pods have been harvested and the seeds have fermented. While it is believed that cocoa originated in the Americas, most of today's cocoa comes from western Africa.
