Legumes produce a slow rise in blood sugar, which is important for controlling diabetes. Hormone-like substances that are activated by digestive inhibitors in legumes help fight both breast cancer and colon cancer. Legumes also help in the regulation of the colon, preventing constipation and hemorrhoids.

Are red beans toxic?

I've eaten raw green beans from my garden often. Many times when snapping off the tops and bottoms to cook them, I just pop beans into my mouth instead. I'm sure I've consumed at least a half a pound of them this way at a time. Then I cook the beans, but not too much because I like them still kinda crunchy with butter.

I never even CONSIDERED that green beans could be toxic until I read that Kidney Beans have phytohemagglutinin when raw, and that this can actually increase on cooking if not cooked at 100C for 10 minutes which destroys it. Kidney beans/navy beans/green beans I believe are the same species of beans.

If it were possible to get poisoning from raw/improperly cooked green beans however, I think I would most likely have discovered that given the way I prefer to eat them ( raw preferred to slightly cooked and will eat overcooked to canned greenbean texture if there is no choice ). I consider the way most people eat greenbeans to be overcooked mush.

I also like to eat sprouted lentils. It never occurred to me that they might be poisonous. I don't think they are though as I've eaten LOTS of these.

Still, I had considered trying Kidney Bean Sprouts, but I don't think I will now.

How do you cook baked beans in the can on a campfire?

You have to remove the paper label so it won't burn but that is not as important as first puncturing the top of the can. If you don't at least poke a hole in the top of the can, it will build up pressure and explode, sending hot beans all over the place and anyone standing nearby. Anything in a can that is not vented and placed on a heat source will explode and send the contents flying. I have found that it is best to use a can opener and open the lid leaving a little unopened. You will need to stir the beans or they will burn to the bottom of the can. With the lid still attached you can close the lid to keep ashes out of your beans and when you take it off the fire, lift the lid up and use it as a handle. The can and the lid will be HOT so be careful. I've eaten many a can of beans that were cooked over a fire. For some reason they just taste better over a fire.
