For most, beans are a symbol of poverty. The phrase "sitting on the beans" is used to refer to difficult times when you are left with nothing. Obviously, this is an outdated phrase, since personally, in my experience, I was faced with the fact that beans are not so easy to find, firstly, and secondly, they are not so cheap in terms of their cost. I immediately wanted to organize a bean garden in the country. And after tasting a wonderful low-calorie Catalan mashed potato soup with beans, she finally established herself in her desire to find beans for planting.
