Is a pea bean a pea or a bean?

A pea bean! Sounds like it depends on when it is eaten (like if the chick pea is eaten green and the garbanzo bean is eaten tan). One thing's for sure though: kidney beans are not pee!

It is a pulse.

What Is a Pulse?

The edible seed of a legume is known as a pulse, a name taken from the Latin word puls, meaning a thick soup. Familiar pulses include peas, beans, lentils, and chickpeas.

Coincidentally, ingesting pulses can affect pulse rate.

The effect of beans on pulse rate, total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) were sex dependent (P < 0.05). In males, pulse rate, TC, and LDL were decreased by 6.5%, 11.5%, and 18%, respectively. In females, pulse rate increased by 9.6%, and TC and LDL were relatively unchanged.
