Finally, after YEARS of trial and error failures, today I’ve made Thicket Beans palatable and not poisonous! I went whole hog, 24 hour soak with 2 changes of salty, alkaline water. Boiling in another change. Pressure cooking after. And then boiling AGAIN. Lastly stewing with some sauce as a faux baked beans. It’s pretty good! The process could certainly be optimized but now I know it IS at least doable.

For Lemmy users: Lemmy only shows the first pic, there’s more if you click through to the originating Pixelfed instance. Eventually I’m gonna write up a full step-by-step of what I did, probably on WriteFreely.
Could you link it, then?
The longer post? I definitely will once it’s written, sure thing
Finally wrote it up: https://text.tchncs.de/the-rose-garden/cooking-the-thicket-bean
WriteFreely is federated so potentially this would work too: @the-rose-garden@text.tchncs.de
Thanks!
