Beans need 'blanching', throw them for 1 minute in cooking water. This will deactivate anti-nutritional factors who can inhibit protein digestion. Canned beans are often already heatened.

Yes, Scarlet Runner beans are great in tossed salads and can also be dried and taste alot like butter beans. There are many types of pod beans that are edible, in fact, best tasting when eaten raw. You just have to know your beans!

I think the cooked beans are better than yncooked ones, but its okey to eat them uncooked.

Absolutely! They're great in salads! Try kidney beans in a salad, or green beans with some honey mustard dressing!

String beans are and they're good but you can't eat black beans or pinto beans raw. they have to be boiled to kill any bacteria, first. And they're hard.
