I have some runner bean seeds left over from the planting programme?
Can these seeds be safely eaten in salads or soups?
Answers:
Am I reading you rightly, in that you want to cook and eat horticultural runner bean seed? If so, please **never** do that, not *ever*. Seedsmen and seedhouses often have to treat their seed, either for future disease of the young plant or to prevent spoiling of the seed itself, and these treatments are not always declared on the packet. Moreover, horticultural seed handling practice is completely different from food grade handling, and they're completely incompatible with each other. So please just forget this idea altogether.
All the best.
