Bean shows sign of life (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pulse

This clue is a double definition.

'bean' is the first definition.
(I know that bean can be written as pulse)

'sign of life' is the second definition.
(a person's pulse)

'shows' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pulse that I've seen before include "Rhythmic beat" , "Heart beat - peas, beans etc" , "Vitality" , "Vegetable (taken by doctors?)" , "Rhythmical throb of arteries" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
