Sure, they're the same as you buy in the store as dried beans, Navy, Pinto, etc. Prepare in the same way...

Thank you Clanad, Since I posted the question I've cooked some (boiled) and although the water turned purple they tasted all right: something like butter beans. No ill effects so far. One point though they were quite a bulky food. I imagine that in quantity they would be quite filling. Tadpole
