Bean (Runner Bean, French Bean, Green Bean, String Bean)

Common name : Bean (Runner Bean, French Bean, Green Bean, String Bean)
Latin name : Phaseolus coccineus; P. vulgaris
Family name : Fabaceae/Leguminosae (Pea family)

The young leaves of the French or Runner Bean can be fed in moderation to tortoises.  You should never feed the pods or beans themselves, as they are too high in protein and they also contain the toxic compound lectin phytohaemagglutinin, which is only destroyed at very high temperatures.
