The 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for US Americans (DGA) classify mature legumes as a food group with a weekly recommendation of 1.5 cups (equivalent to 37.5 g cooked mature legumes/day) for nonvegetarians and 3 cups (equivalent to 75 g cooked mature legumes/day) for vegetarians (USDHHS and USDA 2021). The most recent DGA (2020–2025), issued in December 2020, make similar recommendations for legume consumption; however, further emphasize on reduction in added sugars and a greater focus on stages of life requirements (infants, children and adolescents, adults, pregnant/lactating women, and older adults).
