There are certain foods prepared specifically for New Year’s Day that are considered to bring good luck.<\/p>\n

People’s new year, good luck, food traditions around the globe vary with local culture and cuisine, but the general theme is the same: People share food and drink with family and friends to usher in a new year of prosperity.<\/p>\n

In the U.S., mainly the South, cowpeas (black-eyed peas) and beans are some of the typical traditional foods served on New Year’s Day. These food items symbolize coins or wealth and are thought to bring luck and prosperity in the New Year.<\/p>\n

But they also contain a protein that can be toxic in higher concentrations, when beans are eaten raw. Kidney beans in particular contain enough of this toxin to cause acute symptoms, even if only a few raw beans are consumed.<\/p>\n
