I recently learned that red kidney beans can be toxic. They contain a natural protein called lectin that can cause vomiting, diarrhea. Always soak raw beans at least 5 hours, drain the water and boil at least 30 mins. Never cook them in a slow cooker as it doesn't get hot enough to destroy the toxins.
It is safe to use canned beans however, it sounds like a plan to me!
Were you aware of this?
Good grief! I didn't know this. I always stick to canned kidney beans.
ReplyDeleteNo, I wasn't. I have only eaten them canned. Have a great weekend, hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh, I don´t know this.
ReplyDeleteAll the legumes and beans are toxic if not prepared right. My stomach can't handle them well.
ReplyDeleteWow, I had no idea. We rarely have them raw. Always the canned route for us.
ReplyDeleteI do have stomach issues with more legumes..maybe I don't know how to prepare them.
ReplyDeleteSuch good information. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteWho knew?!
