The first question, are you using firewood and kerosene to make fire? The reason for the question is that when you light up the fire and you did not allow the smeĺl of the kerosene to quench before putting pot of water on the fire, by the time you finish cooking, the food will taste kerosene smell.
I use Gas cooker

Either the kerosene was intentionally used for preservation or it was transported alongside cans of kerosene.

Its not just adulterated, its bio food. Product of the seeds from Bill Gates; his GMO produce and this is how they planned to depopulate Africa. Don't believe me, go to the nearest federal hospital near you and observe how many people are dying for abdominal or kidney problems.

Stay away from Tin Tomatoes, packaged food and start to plant your own grains cos majority of the food in rotation now ain't real, just like in the West.

I bought beans too and cooked in it my household but it stank so bad and changed colours. We got rid of the whole lot.

They control your natural resources and food from the North now, so they are winning
My God!

Were you cooking it with stove?

Did the seller notice similar smell from hers?

Sometimes, it could be from where the beans were stored. Perhaps you or the seller stored Kerosene nearby
Does anyone still cook with stove these days?

PIt may not really be kerosine. The beans smells kerosine. The fact is that foreign thing or things have been mixed with beans. It may smell like kerosine and again kerosine might be mixed too. In my comment, I said perhaps. It means I am not sure.
Some people do not understand the meaning of "Perhaps"

Further to the above link, I decided against eating same beans yesterday.

I was in a rush trying to make that post yesterday, as a result, some details were left out.
— I bought two Mudus of Milk Beans. I had earlier bought two Mudus of Honey beans, but when I got home to cook the honey beans, I noticed it had no taste at all. The Beans is so Neat and clean, but no taste.
— As a result of its lack of taste, I decided to buy the milk beans. Believe me I hadn't heard of these names(Honey and milk beans) until Monday last week.
— While I was picking and winnowing the Milk Beans yesterday, there was no smell. But as soon as I began to cook it, the smell began to erupt. I washed it with cold water four times before parboiling. After Parboiling, i still washed it like five times, still the smell didn't go away..
— I ran to a male neighbour of mine and ask him if he had had such experience with beans, he said no. He advised I threw them away.
I ran to an old woman within the neighbourhood, she said I could eat it. She even tested it. But I said I won't eat.
I threw the parboiled ones away.
I returned the remaining ones to the woman who sold to me. She didn't give me back my money and I didn't want to start dragging with her. Though she promised to do so later.

Please do not care less about your Health. Prevention is better than Cure.

A lot of food items have been adulterated in today's market. Everybody wants to make quick quick money at the expense of the other. Eating banana and plantain now is also risky, even Fufu(Akpu), Palm oil.

The situation is really bad.

You better throw it away and live another day than taking a risk to save money and going down under forever. You will get back your money someday but your life? It's gone forever.
I have seen Nigerians preserving beans, stock fish and dry fish with sniper. Nigerians are very wicked n thoughtless when it comes to safety. They only care about profits.
That's my last hope !

Ok. Here's Mama's tips for cooking beans mostly, including the one you bought.

1. Boil for 5 to 8 minutes.
2. Throw away the brown colored water.
3. Add fresh water, cook and enjoy 😉

Lastly, taking these steps will keep you and those who eat the beans from throwing gas up and down with reckless abandon wink

It's the cheap preservative they used in the store. It's supposed to prevent insects that eat the beans while in storage. What you should do is perboil the beans for 20min using a gas cooker or longer if using other means of heating, pour away all the water and add fresh clean water. You can do it twice If you like. All the smell will go.
I did it like five times and it's still the same

My beans they smell like raw cement and diesel.
Best way to cook it is to perboil the beans and let it cook for 10 minutes, then drain the water and wash with plenty of water before finally cooking.
I washed it like five times after parboiling and the smell no gree leave am

QuinQ:
Don't consume!
Price of beans is cheaper than price of treating cancer!


Hot water CAN'T wash off all the kerosene or chemicals. It's definitely NOT worth the cancer risk!
**Rule of thumb: Any food that has chemical smell, toss it! Instead don't eat.
That's all I am left to live on
