Beans are rich in nutrients and are rich in protein, carbohydrates, multivitamins and trace elements. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that beans and vegetables are neutral in nature and have the effect of resolving dampness and replenishing the spleen. They are especially suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach.

Beans should not be eaten raw as they can easily cause poisoning. This is because beans contain trypsin inhibitors, hemagglutinin and hemolysin, which are irritating to cell membranes and can destroy red blood cells.

If processed improperly, they enter the human body and can irritate the gastrointestinal tract, causing local congestion, swelling and hemorrhagic inflammation. They can cause agglutination and hemolysis of human red blood cells, and even cause hemolytic jaundice.

However, once beans are heated to above 100°C, these toxic substances will denature, decompose, and disappear.

Therefore, it is safe to eat the beans only if they are cooked thoroughly.
