yes, some varieties have been bred to do just that - but they will be small by the time they've dried. You get a bigger bean by drying runners :)

You wo't poison anyone if you give the dried beans a good boil before then cooking them slowly until soft..
 


... the boil itself should last 8 minutes  :D
