Because there are bugs inside the bean. Truth!
"The thing that makes these beans jump is a tiny moth larvae that lives inside the bean. The moth lays its eggs in the flower of the plant, and the eggs are incorporated into the seeds. The larvae then eat out the interior of the bean and live there. When the larvae move, so does the bean. Eventually, the larvae turn into moths that emerge from the beans to repeat the cycle."

Because there's a larvae, which inhibit the bean, and moves to cause the bean to jump.

A certain bug (some sort of beetle, I think) lays its eggs inside the bean, and when they hatch, the infants kick around, thus making the bean 'jump'.

There is a small larva inside it. When the larva moves, the bean "jumps".

It's not the bean, it's the tiny grubworm inside of it that moves, and no, they are not to eat, they are a seed actually to a common weed.
