A pressure cooker at 15 psi may be used to cook beans in 45 minutes without presoaking. [7] Insufficient cooking, such as in a slow cooker at 75 °C/ 167 °F, may not completely destroy the toxins. [8] Beans also contain alpha amylase inhibitor, but not in sufficient quantities to affect the digestion of starch after consumption of beans. [9]
Lectins are one of many toxic constituents of many raw plants that are inactivated by proper processing and preparation (e.g., cooking with heat, fermentation). [30] For example, raw kidney beans naturally contain toxic levels of lectin (e.g. phytohaemagglutinin). Adverse effects may include nutritional deficiencies, and immune reactions.
Green beans are known by many common names, including French beans, [4] string beans (although most modern varieties are "stringless"), [4] and snap beans [4] or simply "snaps."

The legume lectins (or L-type lectins) are a family of sugar-binding proteins or lectins found in the seeds and, in smaller amounts, in the roots, stems, leaves and bark of plants of the family Fabaceae. [2] [3] The exact function of the legume lectins in vivo is unknown but they are probably involved in the defense of plants against predators ...

The toxic compound phytohaemagglutinin, a lectin, is present in many common bean varieties but is especially concentrated in red kidney beans. White kidney beans contain about a third as many toxins as the red variety; broad beans (Vicia faba) contain 5 to 10% as much as red kidney beans. [7]
