Every time I cook green beans, my mother will tell me that they must be cooked. If they are not cooked, they will be poisoned. Will green beans be poisoned if they are not cooked?

    If the green beans are not cooked, the saponins in the beans will strongly stimulate the digestive tract, and the beans contain prothrombin, which has a coagulant effect. In addition, string beans contain nitrite and trypsin, which can stimulate the human intestines and stomach, poison people's food, and cause gastrointestinal symptoms. In order to prevent string bean poisoning, string beans must be cooked through and cooked.
