Mung bean, also known as mung dal, moong dal, mash bean, munggo or monggo, green gram, golden gram, and green soy, is the seed of Vigna radiata which is native to India. The beans are small, ovoid in shape, and green in color. The English word "mung" derives from the Hindi mung. In the Philippines, it is called munggo or monggo.

Mung beans are most commonly used in Chinese cuisine, where they are called l? dòu (literally "green bean"), as well as in Japan, Korea, India, and Southeast Asia. They are generally eaten either whole (with or without skins) or as bean sprouts, or used to make the dessert "green bean soup". The starch of mung beans is also separated from the ground beans to make jellies and noodles.

Sorghum is a genus of numerous species of grasses, some of which are raised for grain and many of which are utilised as fodder plants either cultivated or as part of pasture.Grain sorghum is well-known for its capacity to tolerate conditions of limited moisture and to produce during periods of extended drought, in circumstances that would impede production in most other grains.

Sorghum is used for food, fodder, and the production of alcoholic beverages. Drought tolerant and heat tolerant and is the "fifth most important cereal crop grown in the world". Sorghum straw (stem fibres) can also be made into excellent wall board for house building, as well as biodegradable packaging. It does not accumulate static electricity, so it is also being used in packaging materials for sensitive electronic equipment.

The millets are a group of small-seeded species of cereal crops, or grains, widely grown around the world for food and fodder. The most widely cultivated species in order of worldwide production are:Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum),Foxtail millet (Setaria italica),Proso millet also known as common millet, broom corn millet, hog millet or white millet (Panicum miliaceum),Finger millet (Eleusine coracana)

Millet sprays are often recommended as healthy treats to finicky pet birds, as they are easily eaten and (in the case of destruction-prone hookbills) easily broken.Celiac patients can replace certain cereal grains in their diets by consuming millets in various forms including breakfast cereals.Millets are traditionally important grains used in brewing millet beer in some cultures.

Maize (Zea mays L. ssp. mays; also known as corn) is a cereal grain that was domesticated in Mesoamerica and then spread throughout the American continents.The term maíze derives from the Spanish form of the Arawak Native American term for the plant. However, it is commonly called corn.

Human consumption of corn and cornmeal constitutes a staple food in many regions of the world.The grain also has many industrial uses, including transformation into plastics and fabrics. Some is hydrolyzed and enzymatically treated to produce syrups, particularly high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener, and some is fermented and distilled to produce grain alcohol. Grain alcohol from maize is traditionally the source of bourbon whiskey.

A pea is the small, edible round green bean which grows in a pod on the leguminous vine Pisum sativum, or in some cases to the immature pods. This legume is cooked as a vegetable in many cultures. The pea ranks among the oldest grain legumes of the Old World. Peas are a cool-season vegetable crop. The pea plant is an annual plant, with a lifecycle of a year. The average pea weighs between 0.1 and 0.36 grams

Soybeans can be broadly classified as "vegetable" (garden) or field (oil) types. Vegetable types cook more easily, have a mild nutty flavor, better texture, are larger in size, higher in protein, and lower in oil than field types.Beans are classed as pulses whereas soybeans are classed as oilseeds. The word "soy" is derived from the Chinese word(soy sauce/soya sauce).

The black-eyed pea, also called black-eyed bean, blackeye, field peas, lobiya, rongi, Alasundae (Kannada name) or chawli, is a subspecies of the cowpea, grown for its medium-sized edible bean, which mutates easily giving rise to a number of varieties. The currently accepted botanical name is Vigna unguiculata subsp. unguiculata, although previously it was classified in the genus Phaseolus.
