Also, don't eat legumes that have just been soaked or that are still cooking, you'll get a huge stomachache. I learned this the hard way while tasting kidney beans while they were cooking.

- morsch 5y ago"As few as five raw beans or a single undercooked kidney bean can cause severe nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pains." That's nuts, though I don't understand why undercooked beans would be worse than raw beans, and not the other way round. Maybe the two claims are from different sources.

- lucioperca 5y agoThey were probably spoiled. Canned beans are pressure cooked.
- molasses 5y agoYeah, I thought canned beans would be cooked and fine. But I guess one bad one can get through.

- pvaldes 5y agoAll legumes are toxic by default, and some are very toxic. Leguminosae is a big family and they are masters on alkaloid design. This is the main reason why we made our bread from cereals and not from legume flour. Cereals are more safe to manipulate because their defense is physical, not chemical.
