Are fresh French bean seeds edible?

[Duronal]

i always blanch young beans. shred them into stips and plunge into boiling water for 4 minutes. lovely!

As for mature beans i wouldn't eat them as a side dish so yes 10 mins of boiling/direct heat should do the trick. For any beans in Chilli/sauce throw them in 10 mins before the end and let the sauce continue to reduce.

MmmMMmmmm

Beans....

Freeze them straight off the plant. Boil the beans 10 mins before eating.

You only need to soak dried beans (eg. kidney beans), not fresh ones.

Cheers!!My problem was more that the kiddies had shelled the lot(dried & fresh)altogether popping them in the same bowl!!~Other than trying to sort them through decided best bet was to soak the lot!!Shall keep a closer eye on them next year!!
