Too bad necessary cooking blands the colours. Resist the desire to present them in their colourful form. They contain lectin and
cooking them properly is extremely important:
Raw beans should never be eaten. Boil for a minimum of ten minutes. Even green beans, such as French or runner beans, contain a small amount of lectins and should not be eaten raw. Do not cook in a slow cooker as the temperatures will not get high enough and can become even more toxic than in the raw form.
More info – read Curse of the lectins.
I pre-cooked them along with dried chick peas which I had presoaked (however I could have soaked them much longer) and threw them both in the stuffing for my baked tomatoes/zucchini.
Little known fact: The plant is a perennial with tuberous roots. It is usually treated as an annual.
