    I have sown some Purple Teepee beans as I thought they would look nice in salads and be easier to see when picking – we eat 90% of our beans raw anyway. But just read that they should not be eaten raw, whilst glancing through a seed catalogue.

    Any idea why this would be? I thought that purple fruit & veg was supposed to be good for you as it has extra anti oxidents?

    I believe that some beans if not fast boiled before eating release toxins that can cause stomach ache.
