Hyacinth Bean Vine

Question

Are these safe with pets since beans are toxic?

Answer 1

Yes, hyacinth beans are toxic when raw, but so are lima beans, red kidney beans and many other types of beans. To be safe, all beans should be adequately cooked before ingesting them. If you have pets that have a tendency to munch, gnaw, and chew on plants, then you'll want to find a way to keep them away from hyacinth beans.
