[LadybugSam]

i never heard of this but i came across this article today: http://www.foodreference.com/html/artredkidneybeanpoisoning.html and i'm a bit confused. is this real? (its not on snopes :shrug)

:nak I believe so. I had never heard of it until I read it here on GCM

[Proverbs31]

Yes.

[2sunshines]

fascinating. I never knew that either.

Question: so when you use kidney beans from a can (yes, I know it's not ideal ;) ) are they already fully cooked or do you risk this as well?
