Legumes are a good source of low-fat protein and depending on the variety and how you season them, are amazingly satisfying. They fill you up well and take very well to all styles of seasoning. They're very easy to use when creating vegetarian meals. While simple english peas, green beans and snow peas require only the briefest cooking (or are equally good eaten raw), fresh favas or larger beans benefit from cooking and proper preparation. Dried legumes of all sorts need some sort of rehydration before they make good eating.
