Because I didn’t. Now my lunch is ruined and I am going to die from protien deficiency.
Also we need a sad bean emoji because :bean: is just mocking me right now.
Also, don’t be a goober like me and go on autopilot and salt the water. Chances the chemistry enough that the beans may not fully cook.
i soaked mine for too long and now i fear they are doomed :sadness:
Also kidney beans are toxic if not cooked properly.
well i’ll be fucked, you’re telling the truth. good thing i never cook kidney beans anyway
According to the FDA, eating as few as 4-5 uncooked kidney beans can cause severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea in 1-3 hours after ingestion. Uncooked kidney beans have an unusually high concentration of a chemical called phytohaemagglutinin that is destroyed when the beans are properly cooked by boiling
this is why pressure cookers are indispensible if you cook dry beans often
even if you have a pressure cooker you need to soak your beans to get rid of anti-nutrients and gasses
:bean-think:
good to know
