    Let’s say someone was to grow up with some sort of slow cooker recipe including beans as a weekly staple. What kind of negative health impacts would that person expect from said beans. Asking for a friend or course.

      So, it depends on the kind of bean. Canned beans, don’t worry about it, they’re pre cooked. Dried beans, best to get them to a boil for 30 minutes.

      Most beans would just make you extra gassy if under cooked, as the cooking can break down some of the compounds that would otherwise be broken down by gas producing bacteria.

      Kidney beans will make you nauseous and vomit if they’re not brought up to boiling and held there for about 30 minutes. Getting them to that temperature and holding them there breaks down certain compounds. Some other beans tend to have the same compound but not to the same extreme levels as kidney beans
