Any comments on fermenting >green beans? Could homemade yogurt be used as the starter? Is it true that >beans must be boiled first? I don't know: I eat green beans raw regularly and the Keeping Food Fresh book talks about fermenting them immediately after picking and I guess they survived. If you boil the beans you should probably add some starter, because there won't be organisms left on the beans. Heidi Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 > I don't know: I eat green beans raw regularly My book on fermenting advises not to eat green beans raw and to cook them before fermenting them because they contain phasein which is toxic. I don't see much about it on Google though.. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I finally had a sample from my first attempt at green beans. Not too bad. They taste like a combination pickle/green bean (of course, lol). The beans were not crispy but not rubbery either. I used the recipe in the " Making Sauerkraut and Pickled Vegetables At Home " as a guide and I did use kefir whey. The pH was 3.5-4 which is good. This was my first time experimenting with using the water bath for temperature control, and I am guessing from the taste that I could have moved them to cold storage earlier....or could have done a better job keeping the temperture between 64 and 68 degrees F as recommended. It does mention that the beans should be boiled for 5-10 minutes, then put into ice water. Carol S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 You didn't make it clear that it was green beans you wanted to eat. We thought it was legumes. Green beans are fine, as well as yellow wax beans.

Even Dr. athan said he only received 1 hour in it during his medical training. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hi Bee, I am gluten and dairy free (dairy causes itching inside and out for me) and have been for several years. Lectins cause gas, stomachache, rashes and general fluish feeling. Green beans fall into the beans category. I have been diagnosed with " leaky gut " which geregular medicine ignores and I find that there is also a file here saying it does not exist. I have one celiac gene. When consuming gluten I have a rash similar to dermatitis herpetiformis. In 2004 I had a stool test and treated geotrichosis with an antifungal) (with a good result. Although when I returned to gluten (as recommended) the ill feelings returned. I am attempting with the help of a functional medicine doctor to improve the functioning of my intestines with a restricted diet, many supplements (liquid work best) and probiotics right now. It isn't going that well. I believe that my intestines are very damaged. Joan > > Green beans are gluten free, but they have lectins which for me cause > > immeasureable gut grief. > > Hi Joan.

Your symptoms in reaction to lectins are actually die- off/healing symptoms which are not caused by lectins, but because of candida and/or other bacterial overgrowth. You will find that butter is okay for you, while other dairy products are not. +++Green beans are not the same as beans and peas in pods, so they do not contain lectins. +++That is correct, the leaky gut theory is not true. > > I have one celiac gene. When consuming gluten I have a rash similar to dermatitis herpetiformis. +++All candida sufferers have celiac disease and cannot have glutens. This is explained in my candida program: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php +++After curing my candida 20 years ago I could have glutens without any ill effects or reactions. +++Did you know that this program also corrects genes? Hereditary factors are not " set in stone. " Proper nutrition corrects them as proved by Dr. Weston A. Price in his book " Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. " > > In 2004 I had a stool test and treated geotrichosis with an antifungal) (with a good result. Although when I returned to gluten (as recommended) the ill feelings returned. +++Such bacteria often occur along with candida overgrowth, so " trying to " treat only one as opposed to curing candida and building up the immune system won't help. This program also treats bacteria other than candida since all of the antifungals recommended are also antibacterial. > > I am attempting with the help of a functional medicine doctor to > improve the functioning of my intestines with a restricted diet, many supplements (liquid work best) and probiotics right now. It isn't going that well. I believe that my intestines are very damaged. +++Yes, your intestines are probably damaged, which all candida sufferers also have. Many people on this program have cured their digestion problems, i.e. acid reflux, diarrhea, constipation, ulcers, etc., myself included. There is a section in the program on Improving Digestion which lists how to do it - see " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " : http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/candida/index.php +++My own brother cured his Crohn's Disease, which is severe diarrhea, that he'd had for over 20 years, by doing this program! See the other Success Stories on my website too: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/success/index.php However, this natural healing program takes time, patience and persistence on the program long enough to build up the immune system, which takes 1 month for every year you've been unwell. For most people nowadays that is since before birth. The best in health, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Green Beans Did you know that the wealth of vitamin K (122% daily value) found in green beans plays an important role in bone health? Although calcium and vitamin D are often the nutrients highlighted in discussions on bone and prevention of bone-related disease, current research is increasingly revealing the importance of vitamin K. Although much of the research has focused on the K2 form of the vitamin, the K1 form found in greens beans has also been associated with better bone mineral density and decreased risk of bone-related diseases. Plus, health-promoting bacteria in the human intestines can convert a small amount of K1 into K2. So, green beans as well as a variety of other green vegetables (including kale, spinach, collard greens and mustard greens) that are excellent sources of vitamin K1, provide welcome support for our bones. Green beans' benefits don't end here since they are also a rich source of other vitamins and minerals, many of which act as powerful antioxidants that help combat the free radical activity associated with increased risk of both cancer and heart disease.
