kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)→ are →toxic for rats
condition: raw statetoxicity_cause: high concentrations of haemagglutinating lectins
“11 out of the 13 cultivars examined were highly toxic for rats in the raw state. These were all found to contain high concentrations of haemagglutinating lectins (over 10% of the total protein)”
Pinto III and Great Northern kidney beans→ are →non-toxic for rats
condition: raw statetoxicity_cause: low-lectin content
“two low‐lectin bean varieties, Pinto III and Great Northern, had no appreciable disruptive effects on the intestines and were essentially non‐toxic for rats”
What science says
ingredient property
“Red kidney bean exhibited the highest carbohydrates content, while the highest fat, ash and crude fibre content was found in navy bean.”
red kidney bean→exhibited the highest→carbohydrates content
“Thus, because in addition lectin‐free kidney bean protein preparations were found to be non‐toxic for rats, it is now suggested that the toxic principle of kidney bean is identical with its constituent lectins.”
