    1.) Most important! Soak beans 6 to 8 hrs up to 24 hrs.
    2.) Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda per cup of dry beans while soaking and rinse beans several times before cooking.
    3.) Add any of these while cooking: ginger, turmeric, cumin, fennel seed, Kombu (seaweed), Ajwain seasoning, Epazote seasoning.
    4.) Pressure cook with clean water.
    can add lemon juice after it is cooked.
    Least gassy beans: mung bean, azuki beans and lentils.
    Most gassy beans: kidney bean, navy bean and chickpea.
    If you already have gas, drink ginger water.

    I rinse and bring beans to a boil for 5 min., turn off the heat, and let them soak over night. Drain, rinse, and cook in fresh water the next day. We have little to no gas with this soaking method.

    My family is from the Caribbean so I grew up always soaking my beans. I read in a cooking book years ago that the main chemical that causes gas is released during the first 30 minutes of cooking. Now I still soak my beans overnight, throw out that water add new water and simmer for 30 minutes. I throw out that water and then cook my beans regular. It seems like a lot of steps but I’ve had 0 gas since I started doing this. Good luck to all!

    I am from Louisiana . Here we love red beans and rice . My mother used to eat radishes a lot . When I grew up I decided to find out why she liked them so much ...Imagine my surprise when I found that eating a radish or two raw ,would instantly stop gas .After I found out that this worked ,I could eat all the beans I wanted . But I took my discovery a step further . When I cooked my beans ,I started adding radishes to the boiling pot .....It worked , My family did not suffer the embarrassing bloating and gas symptoms any more ...The type of radish I use ,are the small red radish you see on some salad bars ....Whatever keeps these radishes from fermenting in the ground also keeps food from fermenting in our systems ...That is why carrots have some use also ...But the radish works better , and does NOT change the flavor of the beans ...Happy eating everyone ....

    The way I cook beans to cut down on a lot of gas, is I bring the beans to a boil, and add 1 teaspoon of baking soda. The beans will bubble up and try to over flow . Remove from heat and turn down to medium high heat and let beans boil for 1 minute. The water will turn greenish. Drain the water off and fill with fresh water, and cook beans as usual... It works for me. And I don't have to soak them...

    Brilliant video.
    Besides soaking before cooking, the best hint for dealing with gas is to eat lots of beans. Our microbiome becomes more efficient at digesting a given food according to how often we eat it.
    All digesting organisms produce gas.

    Thanks, I didn’t know many people don’t use them due to these issues. Soaking and boiling is commonly done in Indian cooking. I think baking soda is not used , it helps in cooking it faster but it makes it gassier. We add garam masala as it has all the spices which help to reduce gastric issues. Beans and lentils are great sources of plant based protein.

      I grew up up in Virginia mountains in the 1950’s-1970’s. My grandmother we called her “Big Ma.” She seemed to always have a pot of “soup beans” as we called them then. Usually seasoned with some ham hock from the many hogs we butchered. That with the homemade cornbread and butter she made from a butter churn I turned many times. That with some young onions. The soup beans were even better the next day warmed over on her cook stove. Any cornbread left over was often put in a glass of milk as a treat that I still do 60 years later. I wouldn’t trade my “poor” upbringing for anything I see today. I would trade all I got to just to wander back to that little mountain shack.

    Lots of interesting hacks here, and I enjoyed your presentation as much as the information.
    I stumbled on another trick some years ago when I had to go on an unexpected weekend away in the midst of my bean-soak schedule. I rinsed the soaked beans and bunged them into the freezer. Came home and cooked them, and was surprised to find they cooked in abut 25% of the normal time. Now that's my go-to strategy. I think the ice crystals break apart the cells like cooking would, so effectively they are frost-cooked part way before they even hit the pot.
    Can't say if they are less gassy that way. Maybe some other folks could do a comparison and we all could share results?

    I've been cooking beans the last three nights: first mung beans, then black-eyed peas, and today adzuki beans. All of them are so delicious the way I've been making them. The mung beans and black-eyed peas are good after soaking 2 or 3 hours. The adzuki beans I soaked for about 16 hours. First I rinsed them three times before soaking. Then after soaking I rinsed again and again with filtered water. I put some ghee in the bottom of the pan (for vegans you can use olive oil or coconut oil), heated it, added turmeric and black cumin seeds, then half a minute later I added the beans with water and coconut milk/cream. I added a teaspoon of black pepper and cooked for a couple hours. Then I added ginger, a sweet potato, a rutabaga, and a beet, plus coriander, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, a little chicory root, and let it simmer. Towards the end of cooking I added a few shakes of salt, and oh my my! It is so-o-o goood! Sweet and delicious (with no added sugar), it's yummy!
    I didn't know about adding baking soda to the soaking. I must try that. I also didn't know about the two things you mentioned after that, which would be worth trying.

    For extra heavy sorts like Fava beans I add baking soda to the first 12 hours of soaking.
    Next day cook them for 10 minutes on high heat in fresh water without seasoning and let sit for like 3 hours.
    Then change the water and cook with the seasoning and everything.
    This takes away most of the gas.

    The thing I do to de-gas beans is: Bring a pot up with the beans in it to a slow rolling boil then dump the water after 10 minutes and rinse the pot and beans and repeat that 2 more times. That should be 3x in total for a total of 30 minutes. Then if you are going to cook the beans after rinsing for the 3rd time then boil for an hour or so and do not salt because that will cause your beans to have to cook longer. - I normally drain the beans and dry them thoroughly and store them in the fridge until I am ready to cook them.

    I make and eat lots of different types of beans. The nation #1 to learn how to cook all sorts of beans and lentils is India. The best thing you can do to make your beans more digestible is soaking. I recommend not 8 hours or twelve hours overnight, but 24 hours or up to two days. You rinse the beans several times and each time in fresh water and when they start to develop a small root, they are ready to go. Long soaking time is absolutely crucial. The next important step is to cook it slowly and let the beans take their time to soak up more moisture and make them even more digestible. Best thing is to heat it up, boil it on low heat for a while, then switch off the heat and cover the pot with towels to keep it warm over a prolonged time. You can use a cooking box if you have one. This way the beans can not burn. You do this multiple times and allow the beans to rest for some time until you are satisfied with the result. The pressure cooker does not create the same result. Honestly, the beans get such a nice taste and texture that you can only achieve by long soaking and slow cooking.

    I clean pinto beans very well, soak them overnight, and clean very well again. Then I leave the damp beans in my refrigerator for 2-3 days. When you take of the cover after this, you can smell a waft of alcohol--I think that's because the indigestible sugars have fermented. I then wash them very well one last time and cook them. This take planning and fridge space, so it's not for everyone. But it works much better than the Julia Child quick soak and better than just soaking overnight.

    Thanks for this video sis!!!! We just had beans tonight (a beans and rice dish from a RUclips channel) I de-gassed the beans without even knowing it. I cooked the beans in the pressure cooker and added cumin with tumeric. Boom! No gas! I like not having to toot after my food. 😂 . I'm so excited to know I can continue to do this and get the same results every time! This video is so helpful. 🙂

    The first method I already do. About 5 yrs ago, I stopped buyin canned beans and went to all dry beans. Buuuut I kinda live in my own little bubble and "discover" a lot of things by accident. I guess this is one of those things that I was already doing that's actually pretty worthwhile. I didn't do it to cut down on gas tho, but cool to know that's an added benefit. Now that I look back on it, I really never got too gassy when I eat beans...and I LOVE beans.

    Thank you for all of these fantastic tips, Melissa! Your presentation style is tremendous; I subscribed before you asked! 😊 You're beautiful and so is your backdrop. Your video probably hit my tl because I cooked beans earlier and shared that info with a couple of people so they could come get some. I'm not vegetarian or vegan, but I've been working on getting in more beans and less meat. Last week was lentils and this week is pintos. Both turned out really buttery and the pintos are rich like chili. I'm glad that your video popped up for me as confirmation and for some new information, as well, like kombu and ajwain. We use some of the same spices, seasonings, and vegetables besides those, though. Za'tar, Garam Masala, and 21 Salute are three of my favorites! In addition to carrot, onion, celery/ parsley, and tomato, try some crystallized orange peel, too, for a delightful surprise. Cinnamon works wonders in black beans, pintos, and some others. Also, I add in olive oil, or avocado oil. Instead of cooking them overnight, I parboil and then steep for an hour before cooking with the baking soda included. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you! I look forward to more content from you! ❤

      @@GeorgiannaMartinSure! Soaking the beans overnight in baking soda is supposed to help reduce bloating and gas, but last week I forgot to add it to the soaking water (discard afterwards), so I just added a little baking soda while the beans were cooking. The ratio is approximately 1 tablespoon of baking soda per 2 cups of beans. Hopefully, that helps. Blessings!

    Great video, just missing one anti-gad ingredient: hing (aka asafoetida). You can get it in an Indian grocer, strong onion/garlic/aromatic flavour, and incredibly powerful anti-flatulent. Just make sure to store it in a glass jar, as the flavour seeps through plastic and and affect other spices it's stored with.

But, I miss the flavour, versatility and especially the health benefits of beans. It would also really increase the types of meals my pescatarian boyfriend and I can have together.

    Don’t forget the couple of drops of Lugol’s solution (iodine), does a chemical reaction with the sugars so that they don’t cause gas. That’s the reason you can soak the beans with a large piece of seaweed - same purpose. Just be sure to thoroughly rinse the beans after soaking with the iodine so you don’t eat too much of that.

I make hummus from scratch (dried chick peas) and I soak them overnight with a little baking soda and a pinch of salt. Next morning I will rinse them well and slow cook on stove top. This makes the most creamy hummus and I have stopped buying those tubs of hummus in the supermarket because my was is so much better. Smooth and not grainy at all. My "go to" bean is Blackeye Pea. These are soaked overnight in plain water only. In the pot, I will add a piece of fresh ginger. I am trying to get my grandkids to enjoy beans so I sneak Black beans (cooked on stove top) into burritos or tacos.
