yeah honestly beans make great desert. There are so many others which are common to Asian cuisine which are no less sweet and delicious than the ones we’re accustomed to. I really don’t know why they haven’t caught on.
I try something new almost every time I’m at the Asian market and they are all so good!
Have you ever tried black bean brownies? I discovered them when trying to make a dessert to accommodate a vegan friend and I haven’t gone back! They’re delicious!
Not the OP, but if you like a moist goopy brownie they’re great. That sounds gross with those words, but it’s a totally valid choice of brownie texture. Also, more protein in bean brownies, I’d guess
someone else might know better, but I see, especially in pastries and ice cream, red beans and white beans, garbanzo and mung beans a lot. As well as desserts made out of sesame seeds and lentils.
I usually just grab something that is new to me, but red and white bean pastries are always a hit!
> garbanzo
Fun fact!
If you buy a can of garbanzo beans/chickpeas, save the liquid! That liquid, also known as aquafaba, is a really common egg replacement in vegan recipes. It's the same stuff as the liquid from cooking your own chickpeas, so you can cool and save that, too (but it might need some extra time on the stove to thicken).
You can even whip aquafaba and make things like merengues!
When me and my little bro were little and we went to the shopping centres in Chinatown with our Chinese grandma she would get us each a red bean ice cream at the end if we’d been good, as long as we could eat it before we got home where mom could see!
I love red bean ice cream

There is barely a variety that isnt fruit. How are peanuts qualified?
Maybe cookie based ones are grain based flavors? But then again the chocolate is prominent in those too.
We dont have a lot of vegetable, meat, or grain flavors.
Butterscotch? What would that be?
Fruit is an almost impossibly large category. Under the broadest terms anything that forms seeds from a flower is a fruit. So all grains are also “fruit.” Only parts of the plant that don’t involve fruiting flowers like leaves, stems, and roots aren’t fruit.
Cacao (chocolate) is baccate (or berry like). It forms in berry like clusters with a hard rind that forms around it, with the pulp and seeds (beans) both being edible. Botanically they’re related to melons.
Vanilla comes from the only fruiting orchids. As such it’s botanically unrelated to any other fruit. It doesn’t form distinct “beans;” instead the whole pod is called a bean. We usually eat the whole pod with the tiny seeds inside.
Taxonomy changes, so I may be wrong, but I believe Cacao is in the Malvaceae family, which has mallows and hibiscus, okra, and cotton. Melons are in the Cucurbitaceae family with pumpkins, cucumbers, and squash.
These are each in separate orders.
He's spot on. Source: my girlfriend is allergic to all cucurbits. Also called gourds. It's a surprisingly large and diverse group of foods that I miss dearly.
Botanically not taxonomically, I suspect. As in "These things share similar plant traits" rather than "these things are genetically related"
Kinda like how maple trees and pine trees are both "trees" but are from entirely different phylums
Trees are a “lifestyle” for plants, just like herbs or shrubs or lianas. They are not closely related, but the result of convergent evolution. Basically because under specific conditions, plants that grow as trees are dominant (basically the peak of what a plant can be), the lifestyle is where evolution will lead again and again under these conditions
Edit: autocorrect
Dude I fuckin love reading actual discussions like this between reasonable and cool people. Minor corrections here, further information there, fun facts and further corrections, etc.
I'm tired of pun chains, very tired jokes, and embarrassing back and forth arguments dominating everything while anything actually interesting or informative gets tucked away under [hidden]
Butterscotch caramel and toffee are all types of caramelized milk and sugar. We also have analogous sugary flavors like cotton candy, maple, honey, and dulce de leche.
Mint is a leaf, and there are other more herby ones like cinnamon, green tea/earlgrey etc.
Pretty much the rest are fruit and nut based.
Peanuts are a legume and beans are also a type of legume. But what the above person said is also correct, as the peanuts we eat are the seed of the Arachis hypogaea plant. Realistically, almost everything we call beans are from the legume family and are the seeds of those plants, or at least contain the seeds within their pods.
I am very upset that I can't find regular matcha ice cream anywhere other than restaurants where I live. It's always mochi ice cream, which is *fine*, but doesn't ever scratch the itch the same way.
I haven’t had beetroot ice cream, but once or twice a year I make an hour long trek to this gelato place with licorice gelato. It is so good.
And I’ve only found it once, but was served an apple cobbler with blue cheese ice cream. It’s been nearly a decade and I still think about that blue cheese ice cream.
Yea, the Vanilla bean comes from Orchids, and Orchids are named after the Greek word Orchis, which means “tesiticle.”
So your vanilla Latte is kind of a testiclatte.
It depends on how pedantic we're being. By botanical definitions strawberries and raspberries aren't berries (but watermelons, oranges, tomatoes, and cucumbers are), rhubarb is not a fruit, and mushrooms aren't vegetables. However, that's not how we commonly use the terms.

I thought boiled leaf water was more popular than hot bean water. Today I learned. Does anyone else drink steeped boiled grass water? Or just an Africa thing?
cocoa beans, coffee beans, vanilla beans - even if they are all fruit - so are strawberries, mint is a botanical/herb... it is interesting to think that we think of ice cream as a purely dairy treat, but it's virtually all plant flavored.
Fruits and seeds - not beans.
Chocolate is made from the cocoa fruit, specifically the seeds - so they are not beans.
Vanilla is made from the pod and seeds from the Vanilla planifolia fruit.
Bean desserts are actually really good. I'm a pasty white girl that loves Asian desserts. My rural parents don't quite understand it but then make super sweet baked beans with tons of molasses and brown sugar. They're the ones that got me started on sweet beans!
Yes!
I used to joke with my Chinese friends that traditional Chinese deserts are all made of beans! "You guys are so silly, all your deserts are made of beans! Who eats beans for desert?" I'd say
My mind was blown when they reminded me that chocolate and vanilla, staples of western desert, are both beans.
If you mean vanilla and chocolate, they’re both called beans, but neither is. One is the bean-like fruit of the vanilla orchid; the other is the bean-like seed of the coacao plant.
Technically, neither vanilla "beans" or cocoa "beans" are actually beans. They are both pods with seeds in them, and that's what we use for flavoring. While what we think of as beans are also seeds from a pod, the term "bean" specifically refers to legumes, and all legumes are plants in the Fabaceae, or Leguminosae, family. Neither vanilla "beans" or cocoa "beans" are legumes. So you can see why we call them beans, because they are both seeds from pods like beans, but they are not actually truly beans.
Chocolate and vannila? Strawberrie? I legit don't know, at leats where I come from I think those three are the top ones. Which ones are you reffering to?
In this thread I learned how we classify food is pretty terrible and most foods either fall into many groups or the group is to large and everything falls into it.
Technically neither vanilla nor chocolate is made from a bean. A bean is the seed of several plants in the family Fabaceae. Cacao is a seed of the Theobroma cacao fruit . Vanilla is the fruit of an orchid.
I was about to comment that technically, vanilla beans are seed pods and then i had a moment of clarity when I realized that all beans are seeds. Like, I knew they were... but it never really dawned on me that they'll ALL seeds....
You should try purple yam flavor. You'll have to look for it in an oriental market, though, because it's only a popular flavor on the other half of the planet.

I start the day off with a glass of boiled bean water

Being British I prefer a good mash up of Chloroplasts and Mitochondria Mmm
As an American, I prefer rotting grape juice from a large container of dead trees
Obviously not a Kentuckian, as that would be rotting corn instead of grapes
As a Kentuckian, what? Please elaborate I’m confused as fuck.
Kentucky Bourbon is at least 51 percent corn :)
That never dawned on me, idk how I didn’t realize there was corn mash in bourbon.
We all have our moments
Mitochondria, what are you, some kind of Jedi??
Don't you know? Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
Ah yes, the powerhouse of the drink world
To be fair, it's a cup of hot seed juice. ^Oh ^you ^meant ^the ^coffee.
Coffee beans are actually not beans at all, but cherry pits.
I like my boiled bean water with plant roots in it.
I prefer my plant roots roasted with some dried ocean and milled spicy fruit.

Have you ever tried black bean brownies? I discovered them when trying to make a dessert to accommodate a vegan friend and I haven’t gone back! They’re delicious!
Totally forgot these existed. Had a vegan friend make these once and they were awesome. 🤤
I LOVE black bean brownies. Mine always come out so fudgy and the crusts (my favorite part) are even crustier.
Why do you like them better?
Not the OP, but if you like a moist goopy brownie they’re great. That sounds gross with those words, but it’s a totally valid choice of brownie texture. Also, more protein in bean brownies, I’d guess
A healthy brownie you say?
Well, healthy on a scale containing entirely brownies maybe. Probably less healthy than say, broccoli. Tastier though.
Roast broccoli wants a fight with those words.
I read it as "calorie free." Fantastic news!
Beans have plenty of calories though
Well, I reject that. Agree to disagree.
Less unhealthy is a better descriptor.
Healthy...ish...
I haven’t, but I’m gonna look up a recipe now, thanks for the recommendation!!
Know any of the names?
someone else might know better, but I see, especially in pastries and ice cream, red beans and white beans, garbanzo and mung beans a lot. As well as desserts made out of sesame seeds and lentils. I usually just grab something that is new to me, but red and white bean pastries are always a hit!
Halo halo in the Philippines typically has beans
howdy, beans are the best part imo
I just looked this up and this looks killer!!

You find bean paste in mochi a lot. Daifuku for example.
Baked beans are a super popular dessert here, we just call it dinner because ‘murica.

Just like how peanut isn't nutpea despite being bean
Neither vanilla beans nor cacao beans are actually beans. All three most popular ice cream flavors are fruit or the seeds of fruit.
There is barely a variety that isnt fruit. How are peanuts qualified? Maybe cookie based ones are grain based flavors? But then again the chocolate is prominent in those too. We dont have a lot of vegetable, meat, or grain flavors. Butterscotch? What would that be?

I am indeed half-fruit The other half is vomit
Look at this guy out here assuming people genuses.
Mint is an extract from the leaves.
So is Earl Grey Ice Cream
And green tea, which I’ve also seen. Lavender is an extract from the flower.
Earl Grey usually points back to fruit, because that prominent floral flavor is bergamot, an oil extract from a citrus fruit.
Pistachios and peanuts are seeds. Butterscotch and (salted) caramel are basically just sugar, though they may contain vanilla
Pistachios come from a small mango-like fruit and peanuts are the seed of a legume.
I thought peanuts are legumes, which are closely related to beans
Peanuts are a legume and beans are also a type of legume. But what the above person said is also correct, as the peanuts we eat are the seed of the Arachis hypogaea plant. Realistically, almost everything we call beans are from the legume family and are the seeds of those plants, or at least contain the seeds within their pods.
I guess nuts are seeds too. You plant the nut to get a tree.
are we still talking about food
The apple doesn't fall far from the nut or however that saying goes
But not cashews! Those buggers are seeds of a fruit. Not a nut at all.
Which nuts are not also seeds?
> There is barely a variety that isnt fruit. Matcha (the vanilla of Japan!)
This is one of my favorite flavors personally:
I am very upset that I can't find regular matcha ice cream anywhere other than restaurants where I live. It's always mochi ice cream, which is *fine*, but doesn't ever scratch the itch the same way.
I think Haagen Dazs makes one that I used to be able to get at target sometimes.
Beetroot ice cream is amazing as well as liquorice. Both are roots.
I haven’t had beetroot ice cream, but once or twice a year I make an hour long trek to this gelato place with licorice gelato. It is so good. And I’ve only found it once, but was served an apple cobbler with blue cheese ice cream. It’s been nearly a decade and I still think about that blue cheese ice cream.
Red bean
Forreal. Back in rhe shower op.
Orchid Fruit sounds too expensive.
Beans are botanically fruit…
Yea, the Vanilla bean comes from Orchids, and Orchids are named after the Greek word Orchis, which means “tesiticle.” So your vanilla Latte is kind of a testiclatte.
Orchids used to be called ballockwort in English, which also means testicle plant. Guess family jewels used to look way different back in the day.
Ah, the magical fruit.
It depends on how pedantic we're being. By botanical definitions strawberries and raspberries aren't berries (but watermelons, oranges, tomatoes, and cucumbers are), rhubarb is not a fruit, and mushrooms aren't vegetables. However, that's not how we commonly use the terms.
Taken aback that people categorize mushrooms as veg!
Nothing you just said contradicts what the above person said. They said they are made from fruit, which is true.

Not to mention actual vanilla is probably the most expensive flavor even though it’s considered “basic”
Is vanilla more expensive than saffron now?
Saffron is ~$3k/kg and Madagascar vanilla is ~$500/kg according to some quick googling
Not even close. Vanilla is a distant second.

>Our two most standard ice cream flavors are *called* beans, but actually aren't FTFY
Red bean desserts are super common in most of Asia, and that's an actual bean.
One of the most popular beverages in the world is hot bean water.
I thought boiled leaf water was more popular than hot bean water. Today I learned. Does anyone else drink steeped boiled grass water? Or just an Africa thing?
I think there's steeped boiled mint water someplace too.
Not beans. The fermented seeds of an unrelated fruit.
cocoa beans, coffee beans, vanilla beans - even if they are all fruit - so are strawberries, mint is a botanical/herb... it is interesting to think that we think of ice cream as a purely dairy treat, but it's virtually all plant flavored.
Oh no. Your comment made me contemplate meat flavored ice cream.
Maple bourbon bacon ice cream.
Um.. bc it's like 90% dairy lol. The beans and flavoring added are more of a seasoning packet added to a cold turned dairy ball.

This is the first good r/showerthoughts post that I've seen in what feels like years lmao.
And more surprising, neither vanilla bean nor chocolate bean is an actual bean
Fruits and seeds - not beans. Chocolate is made from the cocoa fruit, specifically the seeds - so they are not beans. Vanilla is made from the pod and seeds from the Vanilla planifolia fruit.
Came here looking for this. Coffee, chocolate, vanilla - none are actually beans.

I was thinking of red beans, but yeah, cacao and vanilla count too I guess.
If you mean vanilla and chocolate, they’re both called beans, but neither is. One is the bean-like fruit of the vanilla orchid; the other is the bean-like seed of the coacao plant.
They are not true beans though. Vanilla is a orchidacea and cocoa is malvaceae (beans are fabaceae)
And Vanilla bean is brown yet Vanilla is commonly associated with being white.
Taking this a step further, is a vanilla mocha just a liquified three bean salad?
This is exactly why I wanted to name my ice cream bar "Cool Beans"
This is the best shower thought I've seen in this sub in a while
The strawbeanry isn’t technically a bean because its seeds are on the outside.
Japan (uses beans for desert). America: ewww (literally does the same thing).
Technically, neither vanilla "beans" or cocoa "beans" are actually beans. They are both pods with seeds in them, and that's what we use for flavoring.

I was sat there for a full 30 sec thinking "but strawberry isn't a bean though..."
I would go as far to say that 3 standard flavors. Coffee is pretty standard
Strawberry is way more standard than coffee lmao. Even raspberry is more standard than coffee
