I accidentally ate raw kidney beans?

Stupidly made a mistake and accidentally ate raw kidney beans (I thought they were cooked)

my New Year’s resolution was to eat more healthy foods and cook from scratch as it’s not something I do enough, so I followed a recipe online and thought the kidney beans tasted absolutely awful (but I presumed it was because I’m a picky eater!) turns out I somehow forgot/missed cooking them and I ate them raw.

is it true they make you sick? Just worried as I have a big day tomorrow and don’t want to be unwell ☹️ I feel fine (apart from feeling like a complete idiot!)

Were they tinned?

fishonabicycle · 05/01/2024 22:15

Raw they are like bullets! Surely you didn't eat them like that (out of a bag and dry)? Do you mean straight out of the tin? If yes, they are already cooked.

I wasn't aware that tinned kidney beans could do you any harm. I make a tuna salad with them regularly 😬

NoAprilFool · 05/01/2024 22:15

Are you sure you ate raw kidney beans? You’d have broken your teeth - they’re rock solid!
if tinned, they don’t need cooked

PickledPegs · 05/01/2024 22:16

If tinned you’re fine, the tinned ones are cooked. If not tinned (I.e. dry) they can cause food poisoning but you would very likely have noticed on the first bite, they would have been very hard!

Hwory · 05/01/2024 22:16

When you say raw do you mean out of a tin or a dry kidney bean?

tinned ones are pre cooked.

Dacadactyl · 05/01/2024 22:19

The tinned ones will be totally fine.

SunsetGirl · 05/01/2024 22:27

She could have soaked them and not cooked them.

Tbry24 · 05/01/2024 22:33

Tinned? They are fine I eat them cold from the tin. Dried? Would be so hard you would not be able to even eat them.

Josette77 · 05/01/2024 22:34

What do you mean by raw? Raw would be impossible to chew. If they were in a tin they are cooked.

Combusting · 05/01/2024 22:35

You didn’t break your teeth when you gnashes up a hard raw bean?

If you mean you ate the tinned bean - well they aren’t raw.

HTH

If you ate them from a tin they they were cooked

novhange · 05/01/2024 22:40

Tinned or glass jar kidney beans are pre-cooked OP.

As pp said, raw kidney beans are like bullets, I doubt you ate even one.

LightSpeeds · 05/01/2024 23:12

Yeah, they are poisonous if undercooked, but the tinned ones are pre-cooked!

CandyLeBonBon · 05/01/2024 23:14

As pp said raw kidney beans (eg not soaked or cooked) are rock hard. Are you sure that's what you mean? Or do you mean out of a tin?

From a can? They aren't raw

ladyofshertonabbas · 05/01/2024 23:46

We’re they tinned? They’re fine.

I do know some people who at undercooked ones, they were ill and felt awful. Sorry OP.

HRTQueen · 05/01/2024 23:51

I have wasted time cooking from scratch with the soaking and cooking kidney beans

even after soaking the are very hard

I think if you ate them after soaking then you will feel poorly/stomach pains

trippily · 05/01/2024 23:53

CANCEL THE BEANS

oopsimanidiot · 06/01/2024 00:01

They were from a tin! Panic over- thanks everyone!

you might be a little windy later

kidney beans are delicious

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 06/01/2024 00:05

Tinned ones are already cooked. You can eat them as they are, straight from the tin!

SomeCatFromJapan · 06/01/2024 00:05

So you are indeed just a picky eater 😂

Glad your mind is at rest now. Don't worry if they make you a bit farty, that's quite normal.

TeaAndTattoos · 06/01/2024 00:10

You’re absolutely fine if they where from a tin they are already cooked and can be eaten from the tin but if they where from a bag then you’ve got a bit of a problem because they can make you ill.
