    We have a bean!

    Well, it's now a has-bean.

    It was 7" long and very handsome.
    Only thing is I never actually saw a flower...

    (BTW: Can you eat Jacob's Cattle beans raw or have I just poisoned myself?)

    Ah well, it was nice knowing you.






    Course you can silly - it's the dried beans that need soaking and boiling.

          Well done! I'm having problems with my broad beans because I can't stop picking the pods to check out the size and taste of the beans... There's never enough left for a decent meal!

              Raw French beans have a trace of the toxic lectin haemagglutinin which causes 'kidney bean poisoning'. You can probably eat quite a few without problem, but I have had KBP and it's very, very unpleasant, so I always cook my French beans now (pods, shellies, and dried)

              kidney beans are the seed/bean of the French bean - they aren't just the red ones you get in chilli con carne

                Thanks Two_Sheds. I only had two bites 'cos I didn't like the taste but the littl'un has just come in and eaten the rest of it, commenting that "they always taste like that". I'll have to warn him not to have too many.
