Yes if you like them.

You could save some for growing your next lot of runner beans.

When fresh - delicious! Dried? Don't know. Probably not.

But seed - yes.

I use them for anything you'd use a pulse for: a side veg and in casseroles of course, but as long as they're not too big you can mash cooked ones to make into patés or potato cake-a-likes or sausages. It's huge fun playing around and seeing what you end up with (Well it is to me). ;D  A Mexican book (or website) will probably give you loads of ideas.

Very edible, but need a 24 hour soak to soften and at least 40-60 mins cooking - nice in casseroles but need to be part ccoked to soften. Very delicious.
