What is the origin of the idiom "hill of beans" and when to use it?

The idiom "hill of beans" originates from the United States and was popularized in the mid-20th century. It is used to describe something as insignificant, unimportant, or of minimal value, much like a pile of beans would be considered a small and relatively worthless quantity. The expression may have derived from the idea that a hill of beans, in comparison to other commodities, would not amount to much and thus came to represent a lack of significance or worth.
