Answer:

Kidney beans contain a natural toxin called lectin. This can cause stomach aches and vomiting. The toxin is destroyed by proper cooking.

Tinned kidney beans have already been cooked so you can use them straight away.

When using dried kidney beans, follow these three steps to destroy the toxins:

soak the dried beans in water for at least 12 hours

drain and rinse the beans, then cover them with fresh water

boil them vigorously for at least 10 minutes - then simmer the beans for around 45 to 60 minutes to make them tender
