<p>This is a once a year thing. For a brief time there are glorious fresh (never dried) purple beans at the farmers market. I intend to enjoy them paleo or not. That being said is there a way to reduce the anti nutrients in them? Some sort of preperation I can do? I have only been able to find instructions for dried beans but these are fresh. Thanks</p>

<p>Varieties of string beans are more pod than bean. We eat them when we can get them fresh. Here's Mark Sisson's take on the issue: <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/are-peas-and-green-beans-healthy/#axzz29N7t2g7t" rel="nofollow">http://www.marksdailyapple.com/are-peas-and-green-beans-healthy/#axzz29N7t2g7t</a></p>

<p>I assume you are talking about Purple Hull peas or Cow peas? They are a southern pea and the shell is not edible. I would say since they are fresh they shouldn't be any worse for you than green beans or English peas. A little isn't going to hurt you. There shouldn't be any prep since they aren't dried and don't have the concentration of anti-nutrients. </p>

<p>While green beans (and their purple cousins) and peas are "legumes" from a botanical standpoint, I think it's improper to shun all foods due to their botanical classification.</p> <p>Green beans and peas do not exhibit the same level of anti-nutrients or glycemic reaction that (for example) kidney beans do. Enjoy!</p>

<p>Shell beans are closer to kidney/black/pinto beans than they are to grean beans or peas. Probably needs a good soak to be WAPF'ed. </p>
