<<You have to remember that castor beans are very poisonous. >> I gathered that when I read one bean has enough poison to kill a person. I also read you can eat them if you don't break the skin. They pass through undigested. I'm not in the mood to try it though. It's our neighbor who has the plants, her whole 5 acres is one big garden of flowers, bushes and trees. My wife thought we had deadly nightshade in the pasture and was worried about the horses. She asked the neighbor about it and the neighbor picked a berry and ate it. Asked if she could have more for a pie. Ground cherry is what she called it, a relative of the nightshade but not poisonous.
