I planted some kidney beans in the garden a while ago. Just wondering if using them in a recipe, should I prepare it any diffrent? Does the cooking process change at all?

sounds similar to to why you can't eat raw fresh fava beans. though that is worse as it causes a condition called favism. i hear it's not fun.NatGreenMeds said:Here's some information about that very thing:
Before they are eaten, the raw bean seeds should be soaked in water several hours, boiled for at least ten minutes in new fresh water to degrade a toxic compound - lectin phytohaemagglutinin - found in the bean which would otherwise cause severe gastric upset. This compound is present in many varieties (and in some other species of bean), but is especially concentrated in red kidney beans and white kidney beans (Cannellini beans). Although in the case of dry beans the ten minutes required to degrade the toxin is much shorter than the hours required to fully cook the beans themselves, outbreaks of poisoning have been associated with the use of slow cookers whose low cooking temperatures may be unable to degrade the toxin. Sprouts of pulses high in haemaglutins should not be eaten. Kidney beans, especially, should not be sprouted.
Thanks man, but I wouldn't have even looked it up if you hadn't been aware enough to warn about them. You deserve all the credit. You may have saved a life!LUCKYDOG said:Fart-isim in a major way. I was trying to find an article -- great find Nat
