My Beans Is Smelling Like There's Kerosene Inside— (Photo) by DeclanR(op): 2:30pm On Jan 21
Guys please help me before I mistakenly Eat poison.
I'm always careful of whatever goes inside of me because it will hardly come out.

I bought a mudu of Butter Beans yesterday, I'm cooking it right now. But after parboiling it, I perceive a kerosene-like smell oozing out of it. I don't know what this means.

I have stories of people who ate such, and died afterwards.

Someone please explain to me. Should I continue or throw it away?

Urgently please.

Perhaps chemical mixed with kerosine was used to preserve the beans. Do not eat it now. Through it away or dry it for long

Let him or her know the danger it can cause. Mixing chemicals with food is not good at all. Some will take it it won't affect them but some will take it and start having issues.

As a man who can smell pictures, I can confirm that there is a foreign substance in your beans. Be careful!
Re: My Beans Is Smelling Like There's Kerosene Inside— (Photo) by Onkoolos: 4:43pm On Jan 21
Add kolos in the beans, the smell will go away

I will ask her to avoid it so she can live to tell her story for another day.

It's not worth it dying over food.

These days, you parboil beans and throw away the first water - so you don't ingest the chemicals they used in preserving it (especially if you don't see any weevils on it). Did you do this?

If the smell is strong, yeah, you should throw it away.

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

Bring am come may i see... Abegi just wash that thing with hot water eat am joor, see nonsense advice just full comment section...
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.

Becareful, people have died in the past from chemicals used to preserve beans, wash thoroughly before cooking, change the water at least once before it is cooked.

When God said "the heart of man is desperately wicked" He was referring to Nigerians.




Majority of Nigerians are wicked in nature, they can do anything to make money even if it involves taking the life of people.

You wanted to cook beans and (Declan) rice?
Re: My Beans Is Smelling Like There's Kerosene Inside— (Photo) by NICOGRAVITY: 6:52pm On Jan 21
Your own better self.
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.
Re: My Beans Is Smelling Like There's Kerosene Inside— (Photo) by Skj13777: 6:53pm On Jan 21
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.
