I’ve just eaten raw beans

[Robyrollover]

Pinto beans. Forgot to boil them before adding to chilli. Am I going to die?

And if I’m not going to die , is my chilli retrievable??

You'll live. Dammit. joke!!

They were dried? Or out a tin?

Dried - I soaked them overnight but forgot to rapid boil

It’s been a long day

If they were out of a tin you'll be fine. If they were dried.........!

Not out of a tin

You're fucked then.

On a more serious note if I'm rehydrating beans, I usually put boiled water on and leave them to soak for at least 5 hours.

Out of a tin they just need draining and can go straight in.

seriously - I’m freaking out

It is only kidney beans that NEED the rapid boil. Where they still crunchy?

One of my DC ate one. I had three mouthfuls before realising

Have you eaten the chilli?

They’re a little crunchy

I soaked them for probably 8 hours

They’ve been simmering in the chilli for about 30 mind

Being serious they are toxic google it, I honestly would get a doctors advice.

Ah. Cross post. Stop eating now. No, you can't save it.

You might be a bit poorly. How many have you eaten?

18 hours - soaked themfor 18 hours

I’m guessing the toxins will have leaked out into the chilli?

The toxins in the beans will leach out into the liquid, so your chilli will be poisonous.

Did you rinse the soaked beans before adding them?

Fucks sake, all that wasted food and effort

Can you not just cook the chilli for ages?

I'd be more worried about your food poisoning than a wasted chilli

Symptoms start within one to three hours of consumption of raw or undercooked kidney beans. The symptoms are extreme nausea followed by severe vomiting followed within one to a few hours with diarrhea and for some people, abdominal pain. Recovery is usually within three to four hours after the symptoms start.

All people are susceptible, regardless of age or gender. Severity of the symptoms is dose related. Eating as few as four or five raw soaked beans can cause symptoms. Confirmation of diagnosis of the disease is by observing the hemagglutination of red blood cells.

Maybe stick it back on the hob until the beans are soft? Then the bad stuff (lectins) will have broken down.

Although I don't think you can personally observe the hemagglutination thingy.
