Answer 3

I used to live in a suburb of Phoenix, AZ. On the way home from work I frequently bought a grocery bad full of fresh green beans. Every time I bought then I nibbled on them as I drove home. They were raw, sweet and very tasty.

I am still here to answer your question so I guess they weren't harmful when eaten raw.

I would say give it a try with no cooking and see how you like it.

Answer 4

i would say cook them. steamed may be a little too tough for the casserole. i've always used can beans for GBC

Answer 5

If you should decide to do this, do it moderately the green beans usually lose their freshness if left alone for then 5 minutes.

Answer 6

steam the beans, but only a little.

Answer 7

I would think you'd need to cook them down a bit or they will be too crunchy.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

id say cook them better.
