3. Green beans
Green beans contain a toxic protein compound called phasin, which can cause nausea, headache, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Those who consume large quantities of raw green beans may even die from the poisoning.
Therefore, it is important to always boil beans in bubbling water for at least ten minutes to destroy the toxic protein.
Be sure to pour away the water used afterward because it may contain larger amounts of phasin.
