vegetable oils in excellence of quality. Moreover the fact
that Beans, being rich in vitamin B, specially serves to
raise their nufrition value.

From the latest nutrition theories, the food value of
Beans may be inferred as very excellent.
However, all these are theoretical inferences.

As to the nutrition value of Beans as whole grains,
the results of animal experiments have also testified to
its satisfactory amount.

(3) CoNCLUSION

The Orientals who have to depend, for their staple
food-stuff, on rice, wheat, and barley from ancient times
has been supplied, comparatively speaking, with insufficient
nutrition. Particularly in Japan, unlike in Europe and
America, meat diet has been in vogue only among the
specified classes of the people in deference to the Buddhist
doctrines, and the extensive use, to which Beans, together
with their products have been put as side dishes, has helped
to make good in a substantial way, for the shortage of
nutrition, and to preserve the physical strength of the people,
 thereby rendering incalculable services to the Japanese
nation.

As already stated, from the dual standpoint of nutrition

 and food value, Beans are bound to have a more extended
 utility in the future as a food material.
