I could find no reported cases of poisoning from runner beans. Only available as dried beans? Whoever did the research you found seems to have forgotten tins! Well spotted. Most people probably do indeed get them from tins. I think the tinned ones are already cooked though but please do not sue me if they are not and you accidentally poison all around you. Des -- Linz Wet Yorks I bought a dozen or so tins (of various beans) at a discount outlet a while back. Nuked in a microwave and added to something I don't remember (probably a knock-together soup), 1/2 a can of "kidney" or maybe it was the "small red" - beans, were so hard as to be inedible, although they had been packed in a syrup. (Which I normally drink after emptying the can, or use later as a base). I presumed they were uncooked and tossed the whole batch (and juice) after nuking another 10 minutes failed to soften them... Does any of this make sense to anyone? I haven't opened anymore of those... Not comfortable w/ the experience, although my stove is working now so I'm not dependent on the microwave. Don |
