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.

I’m curious about the failures. Have you been repeatedly poisoning yourself trying to figure this out?
I replied from Pixelfed but it doesn’t seeem to have federated through, sorry!
Are you sure you just havent built a tolerance?
Pretttyyy sure lol. Although if I had, it’d certainly save me a lot of time and energy on preparing them so thoroughly
