Dumb question- Do I need to cook these beans

[Borris]

I'm starting a healthy eating drive and thought I'd make a bean salad for lunch.

This seems a really dumb question but do I need to cook these beans before eating them? There are cooking instructions on the tin.

No, I tip them straight out of the can into the salad bowl.

Enjoy!

No, the cooking instructions are if you want to heat them up.

I rinse them first.

You don't need to cook them, you can just add them to your salad. Tinned food is always already cooked.

I can't see the cooking instructions on the photo, but I'll bet they're actually 'heating instructions' (i.e. they tell you to heat them for 5 or 6 mins, and not to let them boil). This is just to warm them up if you want to eat them hot and would be nowhere near long enough to cook them if they were raw.

Super. Thanks everyone!

Yes they are heating instructions.
