The first sentence of the last paragraph of the Nutrients section ([1]) states:
"The Canadian government recommends that adults have up to two (female), and three (male) servings."
It should state:
"The Canadian government recommends that adults have up to two (female), or three (male) servings of meat and alternatives per day."
Not only are numbers of recommended servings useless without a timeframe, but this is ambiguously worded in a way that makes it appear the Canadian gov't recommends eating up to three servings a day of just beans, when in reality they recommend meat and alternatives such as beans. This can be confirmed by viewing citation 31 ([2]).

The previous content in the nutrition section was for
baked beans - a separate article for a unique preparation of cooked, canned beans. I replaced it with nutrition information for raw green beans, with
this edit. With numerous edible bean species and cultivars, prepared as food by various methods, we need a basis for evaluating bean nutrition, for which the simplest presentation is raw green beans. Comments?

Edit request: evidence of earlier human consumption of beans in South America
Also add a greater than sign (>) directly before the 40,000 figure (E.x. Currently, the world gene banks hold about >40,000 bean varieties, although only a fraction are mass-produced for regular consumption.[18])
