These are beans or these  are peas or this is bean, this is pea. I`m trying to describe some pictures about food.

Answer

If there are lots of peas or beans in the picture, you'd say 'peas' or 'beans'. If there is only one single pea or bean, you'd say 'a pea' or 'a bean'.

Singular (1) :

'This is a pea.'
'This is a bean.'

Plural (many) :

'These are peas.'
'These are beans.'

You can't say 'This is bean'. This is grammatically incorrect. A singular countable noun - like pea, or girl or book - needs to have an article or determiner ( a, the, this, that, my ) before it.
