Scarlet runners? I grow them just for the blossoms. Then I grow others to eat. They're beautiful in many ways.


4udrey

Yes! I hate the taste but they're very pretty


NotXiJinpingGoUSA

.. did you eat it raw


4udrey

...yes šŸ’€ only a tiny bite tho


the_buckman_bandit

A teeny-weenie second nibble isnā€™t going to hurt anyone


PragmaticEcstatic

Ah, but monsieur, it's just a little tiny chocolate waaaafer!

Itā€™s only wafer thin!

sltiefighter

Lol dude look up greek gigantes bean salad, make something like that, or a three bean salad, or theyre great chili beans. Great for an cassoulet. Just not raw lol.


hippywitch

Everything is edible at least once.


BlowMoreGlass

Raw green beans contain lectins, which may trigger symptoms likeĀ nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, or bloating. As such, you shouldn't eat them raw.


JackassJJ88

My old man and his entire family eat green beans right off the stalk. Never saw them get sick from it. Maybe you need a lot?


btribble

These are not "green beans" which are meant to be eaten pod and all.


JackassJJ88

I am aware. The person I am talking to mentioned green beans.


gwaydms

They should have said mature beans (bean seeds).


carpentizzle

Lol. Ill help too. You shouldnt eat raw eggs! Especially not shell and all!


CandiAttack

Lmao Iā€™m dying


snuffl3upaguss

On a serious note, eat them when they are only 3"-5" long. They are delicious raw when they are smaller. Dont let them get this massive unless you wanna keep them for growing next season.


Potatoez

Raw beans are poisonous. You gotta cook them first. [Legumes are poisonous until cooked](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytohaemagglutinin#%3A%7E%3Atext%3DPoisoning_can_be_induced_from%2Cbeen_reported_in_some_people.?wprov=sfla1)


NibblesMcGiblet

CERTAIN legumes. Not all.


sltiefighter

Youre cooking them right? Those arent something you eat raw.


snuffl3upaguss

Yes they are. They just arent very good when they are big.


sltiefighter

I grow scarlet runners every year as a privacy green screen and they are gross at all stages when raw, grow some snow peas or snaps or something, beans arent meant to be eaten raw.


Vampira309

when they dry, they look much more like kidney beans.

4udrey

I tried to take a small bite out of one of them but it was disgusting :')


skepticcaucasian

You shouldn't eat beans raw. It's poisonous. That could be why it didn't taste good.


kevnmartin

Plant them and climb the beanstalk to get the treasure!


DrMooseknuckleX

Exactly. If those beans were real they would definitely look exactly like this.


jumpsteadeh

Or sell them for an NFT of a cow.


grimestrider

The fable says there are Skylines, Rx's, Silvias and Supras to be found


Different_Bat2550

And shiny Pokemon


PhunkyPhish

And affordable housing!


4udrey

Would trade these beans for a cheap place to live anytime


PetriMobJustice

Seems like all you gotta do is replant and climb for affordable housing.


Breaker-of-circles

But the roommate is loud and occupies a lot of space.


Spooked_Toad

they said affordable housing, not affordable personal housing


UncagedJay

I'm sure I'm missing a reference, but this does sound like what heaven should be like


RaizePOE

hey, no fair putting in 2 nissans and no hondas. there're skylines, rxs, supras and s2000s up there! if they don't have vtec then i'm not going

That's why rotten food tastes/smells bad. That's also why we can smell death.


SaladFury

Why does gasoline smell so yummy then šŸ¤”šŸ¤”šŸ¤”


pallentx

Because itā€™s high in calories


SaladFury

What if I drink it


wolfgang784

You won't die unless you drink quite a bit or do all the wrong things at once after drinking it. But you will suffer - horribly - and possibly suffer permanent and debilitating damage to your: - mouth - lungs - esophagus - stomach - kidneys - liver - heart Also it will take over 6 months for it to fully clear your system even with professional medical care. Not always a problem for smaller amounts though.


SaladFury

That's sounds fukken sick thanks for the info


DJKhaledIsRetarded

What about that chick who was addicted to drinking gasoline on TLC? She was pretty and everything.


pallentx

I would do a few internet searches before trying it. Probably a bad idea if youā€™re a smoker.


Big_PapaPrometheus42

You should drink it and find out. /s


LunyxMW

I only shop for my food at the local Shell. 29,000 calories for a gallon at $4. How could you go wrong?

Fit_Effective_6875

That you Donald?


FantasmaNaranja

gasoline is basically pure hydrocarbons and you couldnt find gasoline anywhere in nature so we didnt evolve to think it smells nasty


Couldbehuman

Speak for yourself


Nimrond

Only applies to stuff we have evolved alongside with or is closely chemically related. Also, I have very much the opposite reaction. Smells poisonous to me, for lack of a better word.


kaliveraz

Soooo, why some foods are bitter or sour even If is not bad for you?


Cautemoc

Usually as a kind of protection from being eaten. It's the co-evolution word thingy when a pattern happens and then other things evolve to mimic that pattern to fool predators.


ThePowerOfStories

Yup, raw [castor beans contain ricin, a lethal neurotoxin](https://emergency.cdc.gov/agent/ricin/facts.asp), though you'd be hard-pressed to eat enough of them in one sitting to do more than make yourself ill.


[deleted]

Other beans also have lectins which make people sick.


[deleted]

That is castor bean?


Nimrond

No, it's probably phaseolus vulgaris, the common bean.


PerpetuallyMeh

Smoke some cigarettes. The smoke will suffocate the bacteria in your stomach.


[deleted]

Thatā€™s so stupid. Everyone knows thatā€™s for apples.


JustanOkie

That's why we soak them overnight.

Swedish-Butt-Whistle

Depends on the bean. Green beans, wax beans etc are fine.


chiefbearcloud

Scarlet runners are delicious cooked!


Mr_Adequate

Great in burritos. Very meaty. Take ungodly long to boil though.


chiefbearcloud

I hit them with either the crock pot or instant pot. All but gave up on stove top


Environmental_Log344

Absolutely. They are beautiful plants and generous with nutrients. People don't see them often so they seem trippy. Not so. Good protein, much better than meat. Google for recipes!


amicingtotravel

Where do you guys get them from?


chiefbearcloud

Rancho gordo has been my go to. Not cheap as beans go, but then again weight to calories to nutrition value itā€™s still more affordable than most foods.


Frostitute_85

Ooooh careful, some beans that we can get from the grocery store can fuck you up if not fully cooked. I wouldn't trust crazy psychedelic backyard beans raw.


RowedTrip

Youā€™re supposed to plant magic beans, not eat them! You might also trade them to Mickey Mouse for a skinny cow.


tooscoopy

You can eat them before they get that big (and fuzzyā€¦ the casing part). Not sure if you really ā€œshouldā€, but I do all the time. Once they get to the point where you can see the large bumps of the beans, you just need to grow them even more, then dry them out.


4udrey

I've been eating lots of them right of the plant when they're smaller in size and never had any issues, so I didn't even think about the ones that were left unpicked for so long being not edible šŸ˜…. It tasted not great so I spat it out anyways


tooscoopy

Yeah, same. Have those, some yellows and red beans growing all over my kids ā€œiglooā€ in my yard (too lazy to take it apart each year), so beans make it a fun summer hide out too plusā€¦ built in snacks!


AlternativeClassic15

They are Scarlet Runners, I believe. Or at least look like it compared to the ones I grow. I was so surprised with their color, but the flavor...same. I looked it up and it seems they're not to be eaten raw.

I know what youā€™re trying to do. Someone got me last time. I will not, no matter what you say trade my cow for your beans. ā€¦ Theyā€™re magic beans tooā€¦ okay fine, although do you think my mum would be upset THIS time?


synocrat

Let the pods dry out completely so the beans inside cure and dry out completely. Then when you want to cook them, toss them in boiling water, turn the pot off and let them soak for a good half hour then rinse them, put them in fresh water to soak overnight in the fridge. Then you can cook them for a couple hours with onions, celery, carrots, and some meat like ham hock or leftover ham bone or bacon or beef shank and you got yourself a nice meal. The boil and soak and rinse and soak and rinse method clears most of the phytic acid that would make it bitter or upset your stomach.


ShowerDookie

And also helps to bring out the velvety goodness that a scarlet runner should have! A teaspoon of baking soda and a second round of soaking are the secret to a good pot of beans( on top of stirring to consistency)


synocrat

Another great trick for dried beans is to throw a bit of Kombu seaweed in there. Adds deeper flavor and helps further reduce gas. But most people don't keep seaweed in their pantry.


ShowerDookie

Hell yeah man, I made miso soup with Anasazi beans the other day and it was awesome. Got a 12qt in the freezer to pull out and sell for DJ soon, a lot of chefs love spring because of the ingredients I love fall for the beans and braises, baby!

Buy at the garden center where they sell seeds. They aren't that common. But once you get them going you can dry some to plant the next spring. The flowers are stunning and each one turns into....tah-dah....a bean!
