"My favorite food"

When I am asked what I love most about eating, I realize that I almost never eat this particular food, instead of eating it more often. Something paradoxical, isn't it? But the truth is that I love legumes and more when I became a vegetarian since they are my source of protein in their position of meat and well other things more.

Everything started when my grandfather told me: beans eat the "rotos"(broken) ones and lentils eat the old ones... and I did not understand the truth hahaha but when my grandmother put me in front of a plate of beans with "rein" uff she would leave it empty and I was already asking for the second one in advance. I have always liked them even on those hot days when nobody in the world likes to eat a pot or a plate of beans, it would be the great exception. I see them and at the same time I say thank you life for giving me and presenting me with a nice plate of food when there are others who are struggling to get one. 

Nowadays, when I become a vegetarian, they are an important part of my diet, especially when I eat hamburgers, since I substitute them with a lentil or black bean burger. What surprises me about legumes is that they are nitrogen fixers to the soil and play a very important role since at the moment of death they fertilize the soil with their nutrient rich roots ready for other plants.
