Can I eat black beans that are not black?

| I was forced to pick the last of my black beans as we finally had a frost. While most are a beautiful black, some of them have barely started to turn, while others are still bright green. Is it OK to eat the green ones, or will they make my family sick?
It was my first time to plant black beans, and I was very happy with how they have turned out! I'll be planting them every year that I can. |

| As slightly immature beans, they are called shellies or green shellies. They will have a somewhat different flavor from the fully matured dried Black beans, but many folks including myself love shellies. You will find many discussions of shellies on this forum. |
