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 ....
Thanks. I eat beans all the time and never tried that
😮I didn't know this thank you! I love cooked radishes!❤
@@furryplantsandcoins9070 How do you cook radishes?
@@sisterwoman9274 sometimes I put them in scalloped potatoes or soup.
LMAO My dad threatened to disown me if I tried to de-fart the beans, he's all like "but how else am I gonna clear the room?"
😂❤that was awesome.
that is such a dad thing
As an indian i swear by ajwain, fennel, cumin, ginger etc spices and completely avoid soda bi carb as it completely kills many nutrients from the beans. Just soak overnight with couple of pieces of ginger and pressure cook enough. The beans will be fully cooked and digestible.
What’s ajwain and where can I buy it
thanks for the bi carb avoidance tip, didn't think of that.
Ajwain...Carom Seeds
Carom seeds, they're available sat Indian grocery stores. @@seangholipour3884
@@seangholipour3884carom seeds available at Indian grocery stores...use just a pinch because they have a very strong bitter taste
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...
Yes! Baking soda has been my method for years! 👌🏾🫘 I love me some beans!! 😋
Never needed baking soda if the beans are boiled for about 10 min. Let them soak in hot water until water changes..brown, greyish, rinse and repeat one or two more times then cook…Julia Childs way of degassing beans. It works
I don't want to wait and let them soak, I want to start them cooking fast...@@cathyblankenship5824

Love fabulous Julia Child ! TFS her degassing beans technique ! Greetings from Chicago ! 🤗
My friend from Haiti taught me this trick. 😊
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.
Thank you for summarising! It helps.
Not all heroes wear capes
thx for the recap! what nice gift!
Saved 7 minutes of my life. Thank you!
Thanks ❤
As a retired person I'm free to eat beans 24/7. Thanks for passing on correct information about type of sugar in beans. I googled it. Too many others pass along unresearched info. Thanks 👍.
Your comment made me laugh out loud!
Girl I tried the bicarb soda thingy with lentils and damn it is amazing. no gas or bloat at all. I also soaked my lentils for over 24 hours rinsing them after every 12. I then cooked them in a pressure cooker. These tips have literally changed my life.
Girl that’s what’s up! 🙌🏽 I’m so grateful these helped you!!
I overdossed on lentils...i was turbo charged for weeks as i struggled to get my digestion used to a new food..didn,t work. Going to use this vid and comments to try again.....wish me peaceful lentils. Lol xxxx
I hope it was was peaceful @nesanesa9547! 😝
❤❤❤❤
Soaking 18-20 hrs, 2 rinses, pressure cook, and eating them the next day all help my digestion.
I also get beans not sprayed with pesticides while growing.
In Mexico, my friend always ate a garlic clove in bits while eating beans. This prevented the gas. I tried it and it was the fix. There is something in the fresh garlic that helps.
How cool!
Wow, raw garlic really makes my tummy hurt and gives me bad gas. I’m not sure if that would work for me
great, now i have garlic farts and my breath stinks
Garlic adds gas on it's own.
Of course, the reason garlic helps is because 'garlic breath' clears the room to allow you to fart unhinged ;)
What a lovely young lady already on a healthy path and helping others to avoid bad dietary choices. ❤❤❤ Thank you.
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.
Interested in hearing more from you about this
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.
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.
JuliaChilds way is how I do them. Cover with water, bring to a boil for about 10 minutes. Let sit until water is brown and change water. Repeat until water remains clear then cook. No gas!
You don't soak it overnight?
@@TaLeng2023 No. No need to soak if you just bring to a boil and wait until the water turns brown ( Pintos) The brown water is the undigestable part. Repeat again one or two more times then cook. Julia Childs cooking
@@cathyblankenship5824 📠 smart lady
Me too!
Does it have any flavour left after?
Thanks for your very usefull insight. Tradition here in Southern Italy is cooking beans: 1) with clay pot 2) very slow 3) less than 100° C 4) soaking . The quality of beans vary immensely and very good local varieties are again available.
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.
Thanks, great video! Soaking does make such a difference! I also add at least 2-3 large bay leaves per lb of dried beans to help de-gas w/ the other spices when I cook them. Once cooked, I freeze some in single serving size containers, better than canned or other fast food! 😄
Smart cooking!
Just saw this video fir first time. I like your style . Not so much unnecessary flare and drama. Thank you
I soak beans in summer overnight in winter 24 hours.
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.
Glad I found this channel. My sister is losing a lot of weight doing whole food. I’m not ready to make a commitment but I am changing toward that life style.
I’m so glad you’re here 💕
Hi!! Just found your channel. I can’t tell you how helpful this is. I’m WFPB and currently trying the low FODMAP diet for IBS-C. I’m wanting to reintroduce beans. I tried one day and had so much gas. Then yesterday I had a little split pea soup and also had gas. I just bought an IP and I’m very excited to cook beans in it using your methods and tips to decrease gas and bloating. I liked and subscribed. Thanks!!!
Hey hey! So glad these tips are helpful-hoping they work for you! All the best on your journey-and thanks for subbing! See you around 😊
Yes. I soak my beans over night and use a slow cooker. I want to try the baking soda trick now. Thanks for sharing
Awesome Felicia! Thanks for sharing 💜
All one has to do is eat beans REGULARLY. THAT'S IT! No gas. No problems with digestion: PERIOD!!!
Not good to cook beans with slow cooker. Higher temperature is required for cooking healthy beans. Pls research it.
The kombu/carrot tips and categories of less gassy to more were so interesting! We’re in a drought so I was looking for ways that use the least amount of water, long-distance transport, plastic, and planning. Thanks for collecting all these options!
I absolutely soak my beans after bringing them to a rolling boil and leave them overnight. Since then I've never had issues with gas. Thanks 🙏👍 for your validation!
This video is phenomenal. I really appreciate and strongly admire your knowledge and I aspire to be this knowledgeable about plants and their molecular make ups and stuff
Thank You for making this!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
Aw glad you enjoyed it! 😊
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.
You are very enjoyable to listen to and packed with great info and you go fast not being silly and wasting time.
Thank you
I eat beans everyday. Your body gets used to them and the gas becomes no more than a no bean diet. Beans are sooooo healthy, so eat your beans please!
That has not been the case for me. I have to take Beano or a digestive enzyme whenever I eat beans, and I've been trying for years
Thanks for helping us

Woah. Three days. Ifn two days doesn't work then I will try three. Thanks.
3days they will either rot or start to grow😂

Im new here. My husband and I are fasting this month and we are seriously considering going vegan. I ran across this video because ive been cooking a lot of beans in our meals, and the gas ain’t no joke. I do soak my beans. I’ll try a pressure cooker. I haven’t heard of using baking soda, kombu, or using carrots. This video has been very informative. Im a subscriber now. Thanks
Congrats on your new journey hun! Thanks for being here 💜
Ajwain is called as carom seeds. One spice you forgot is aseafoetida or hing in hindi. Ajwain should be added while simmering to have best results. Hing should be added to the seasoning.
Should be?
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.
I normally boil my beans with a little baking soda for 5 minutes and let it soak overnight....rinse in the morning a couple of times and then cook very fast.
Adding asafoetida, just a pinch while cooking or even just taking a pinch with a glass of water after eating anything gassy works like a charm.
You have an excellent presence and eloquent way of presenting but you still have personality. SUBSCRIBED
Aww. Thank you! So glad to have you here!
I use baking soda as well

Thank you for helping us vegans stay strong 💪🏾 💨
Aw, thank YOU for being here 😊
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.
Cool!
Did you just add some drops to the soaking water?
@@CK-vp6hh Yes, just 2 - 3 drops of Lugol's solution in the bean soaking water but not more than that. Then just rinse beans thoroughly after soaking. Then you don't have to mess with the Konbu seaweed
The incredible unami from kombu is not to be missed tho!
I just cook it with the beans.
I soak my beans 24 hr tho
Except lentil or split peas, those are 8hrs
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Yes, I did this as well! I used Kombu for a couple decades, but 100 - it never eliminated the gas completely. Sadly, as much as I love all kinds of beans, bean soups, bean salads and spreads, I rarely eat them anymore and I feel much better.
So happy your voice will confirm mine, I have tried to pass the bean hack on to my children from my mom, thank you
Nice! Blessings to you and your children 💜
You have a new subscriber! Great advice for this guy who passes a lot of gas. I live alone, so that’s good from the offending perspective of gas, but I’m not always alone, so gas is still a social problem for me. I eat both canned and dried beans so I appreciate you including tips with both these in mind.
So glad you could find use in this vid! And thank you for subscribing ☺️
I remember my experience with chickpeas. i tried to make chickpea salad with the canned chickpeas and my system could not tolerate them no matter how much i loved the salad. Someone suggested I cook the chickpeas myself. I didn't want to because i wanted the convenience of opening a can, but reluctantly i did after soaking them overnight, and to my surprise i had no issues with the ones i cooked myself. Lesson learned! Thanks for sharing these wonderful tips and helpful info!
Yay! You’re welcome.
I think it's because they cooked them in the can, while sterilizing. I soak beans and discard the soaking water. I remember an old recipe that say to cook them in the soaking water, best recipe for gas.
You're a very persuasive communicator! Thanks so much!
Thanks for your kind words!
@@ChoosingMyHealth You're most welcome.
I would have never thought of putting Kombu into the cooking water! Very interesting. I'll definitely try that tip ^^ thank you!
Great information and will assist me on my new journey as raw vegan.🙏🏾
So glad it’s helpful 😊
You are an amazing teacher. First time I enjoy those type of videos
Aw thank you Abeer. Best of health! 😊💜
Beanz, beanz, good for your heart. The more you prep them, the less you fart!
😊
I have started eating beans due to some extensive dental surgery, but have really learned to love them. I love Rancho Gordo beans so much. I really like your shirt😍
Asafoetida tiny pinch also helps. Didn't know about yhe iodine and seaweed.
If your gassy and need to be somewhere quick a 20 min fix is having charcoal tablets with a large glass of water.
Asafoetida....yes
@@SandrenaFrancis-zx3vzor just take Gas X capsule. Works great.
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! ❤
Aw thank you for your kind words-and for subscribing! Means so much! I’ll have try adding cinnamon to my black beans 😊
Could you please elaborate on the baking soda remark you made?
@@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.
Soak overnight add little tsp soda boil for 20 minutes throw the water and scum refill with water salt pepper tomato and boil then simmer for an hour
ooh, I've never heard of Kombu. I'll have to try that, along with the other seasonings you mentioned. Thanks for sharing these helpful tips! 🙌🏿💞🌿
When I make spaghetti and tomato sauce, I don't add ground beef, but add chick peas instead. Delish!
My kinda sauce 😁
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and upbeat perspective on diet and food. As a bean lover I'm always interested in ways to reduce the gas issue. You've given me a few good ways to work with that.
Yes- I soak them overnight & rinse well.
This video is timely as I had some red beans rice and last night was a PRODUCTION! LOL
LOL! This is made me laugh Steph! Try these techniques and I hope the show ends.
I *love* cooking dried beans! They are so fricking cheap, delicious and healthy. We ‘ve been eating 4 kinds of heirloom Mexican beans, and even those are incredibly cheap compared to animal protein. I soak them for 6-24 hours, usually use a pressure cooker, and often add a pinch of baking soda. I will note that I often pressure cook beans much less than guides I see online. After a soak, I usually do 10 minutes with a natural release.
If you eat a lot of beans and lentils, I encourage you to take notes about different kinds, how long you soak them, how long you pressure cook them, and whether you use a natural or quick release, so that you can replicate your results or tweak your timing the next time. Notes can really help you be more successful and happy with your results.
Make a big batch of beans and freeze in portion sizes roughly equivalent to.a can, and they are so handy for meal prep later. We always have a stash of different kinds of beans and lentils (and usually cooked whole grains) in our freezer to mix & match for endless recipes.
I saw on another channel that if you use baking soda it could leach out the vitamin B6 in the beans. Also it was said that you should let the beans soak 48 hours and rinse them at 24 hours. I don't know something to think about.
I soak my beans over night...however, I did not know that I was supposed to drain the water out. Will do from now on. Thank you for the video
It is much easier to add vinegar to the water you parboil them in. Most parboil up to an hour before cooking. Drain off the vinegar water and add fresh water for the rest of your cooking process. For me that is baking them. Vinegar will NOT change the flavor but the beans will be 100% de-gassed. I've cooked my beans this way for 4 decades and never have gas from them.
How MUCH vinegar???????
@@aprilpina-jones834 I use about a 1/4 - 1/2 cup in the par boil. I drain the vinegar water and ad fresh water before baking.
First video with you that I watched, loved it! Your energy, knowledge, humor are just top notch. Plus the theme!
Thank you 😊
Gurl you are well informed of quite a few ways to degas . Promoting plant based proteins 👍🏾👍🏼
So glad to help!
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. 🙂
Lol! Im happy for you Jerron!
You are beautiful ❤❤❤ First time seeing your videos and I am subscribing. I’ve done vegan before but stopped because my body rejected beans. I am trying allllllll of your tricks this time. I really need this to work for health reasons this time. By the way the vegan diet is killer for diabetes. Fasting Numbers down to 82 is two weeks!!! Incredible!!!
Aw thank you! So happy for your fasting numbers 🙌🏽 thanks for being here!
Ive heard the progression adding one bean a day is the best way to train your digestion for beans 🙏🏼👏🏼
@ForgiveAndLove09 good point! There’s definitely something to this!
Well rinsed canned beans are easier to digest as well
As bloating appears just eat 3-4 dried Plums, this helps breakdown the gas,chew them very well, just like a paste, then bring them down, good luck
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.
Play video. Yes, I love beans, but they give me a lot of gas. Yes, I do not eat them. I can't understand the fact that when I was younger, my mother made pinto beans which did not give me gas. I loves chili, navy & pinto beans. Help me to digest them. I'm getting very hungry thinking about delicious beans meals. 😂😂😊
Thanks for sharing this link , Educational we cook beans two times a week.
Hola desee Colombia!👋🏻.... mi truco después de tanta prueba y error es cocinarlos así:
1. Dejar en remojo mínimo 8 horas o durante toda la noche.
2. Botar el agua del remojo y ponerlos a cocinar en agua limpia (yo uso olla a presión).
3. Cuando ya estan listos y blandos boto el agua y los pongo nuevamente en agua limpia con todos los aliños a usar más hojas de laurel. Solo los dejo cocinando unos pocos minutos (5 u 8 minutos) y listo!!!!.
Esta forma de cocinarlos no dan gases😜.
Hola hola Lina!👋🏽 Su método es excelente! Y me encanta la hoja de laurel! 🤗💜
Hello I read your comment on cooking beans in an instant pot. I have a question, do you cook the beans in just plain water and salt? Then drain the cooked beans and water. Add fresh water, and beans and seasoning back into the instapot. Then cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Could you please reply if I sent this message correctly and if I understood it correctly. I love cooking beans in my Instapot but I never thought to drain the cooking water. Then add fresh water and seasonings after that. To reduce the gas in the beans.
@marionbartley214 there are various methods. While many do not discard the bean water, you absolutely can if you prefer.
LOVE KOMBU! Use it because of another recipe for general Asian soup base... "Heavenly Fan" RUclips channel! it's because of her that I have this in my pantree! And now I'm about to add Kombu to my instant pot chickpeas! Thank you for this video! 😊
All good tips.
Apart from the overnight soak & multiple rinsing thereafter, we use cooking soda, plenty of ginger & garlic & asafoetida for taste, flavour & preventing flatulence.
The rest of ingredients of course as you've detailed.
Do experiment with asafoetida.
Its a wonder spice, you'll get it from any Indian store.
Amazon also carries it, I think.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video 💛
Hi Michael! Thank you so much for sharing the love! Blessings on your health journey, and thanks for being here!
As a Liberian American, my dad made torborgee all the time! And that has baking soda in it! I eat it til this day sometimes for about a month straight. I LOVE beans. Also o cook my other beans like my red beans for hours!
Thank you for this channel. I just found you and I'm glad that I did. My "bean palate" is narrow, but slowly expanding as I incorporate more beans into my diet. 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.
I love this! Thanks for sharing- and for being here. 😊
I put my beans in a pot and pour over BOILING water… that cuts my soak time down to about two hours. Same results, less time. Just make sure not to rinse your beans in cold water after. If you do, cooking those beans will take three times as long. I make a red bean soup that is never a miss.
You can also add a good amount of salt and cook, once it starts getting tender change the water , this will help the beans to cook fast and reduce gazes
Salt in water will harden beans, lower boiling point and is not recommended.
Beans are so nutritious and delicious. I often forget to soak them at night, so I just soak them when I remember , during the day .
This is a great video.
Thank you.
Why would anyone want to do this? This is just taking yet more fun and joy out of life. One of the things that gives my life meaning is sharing my "essence" with those around me, along with the symphony of sounds that accompanies that process. In fact, I deliberately eat combinations of foods that make my digestion as efficient as possible in producing significant reserves of essence. I could probably contribute significantly to my city's symphony orchestra while simultaneously heating the venue with that essence by capturing it and directing it to the building's HVAC system. Everybody wins from my winds.....twice.
Great video. Could have used some potty humor, though! Gonna have to fact-check it before acting on it, but from a first pass, the info seems solid. Also, since the offending compounds in beans are the FODMAPs, one good idea is to remove them from the mix before cooking the beans (you do this by chemical reaction with enzymes). Another good idea is to invest in a lifetime supply of Bean-O. Same idea as the latter, except you are leaving the FODMAPs intact, and taking the enzymes just before eating the beans.
Also, to keep the gas down, the beans should be eaten sparingly. Better yet, the beans should be eaten with plant-based foods that are high in insoluble fiber, which will increase gut motility (and decrease transit time in the colon). The idea here being the less time the FODMAPs stick around, the less likely they are to lead to gas production.
Once again, great video! Please keep 'em coming!
Thank you Gregory! Will have to look more into FODMAPs!
Deeply appreciate your input, your knowledge regarding preparing beans prior to cooking... love you for sharing your knowledge base with us...
In India black eyed peas are considered most Gassy. Even more than red beans or (Rajma) and Black lentil pulse. (whole Urad Dal). And that has been my experience. I find I get gas and migraine with black eyed beans though as a kid they were my favourite....now I am terrified of them and just had some very carefully after 10 years BUT I still got gas and migraine for a day. Also, because of GM farming the quality of all grains, beans and pulses is polluted with fertilizer toxins. Soaking for two days and three changes of water (if possible keep in a sun lit window ledge for a bit) and adding baking soda and rinsing that water off will help. Also.....eat less. These damn beans are tasty and I know I end up over eating. In Indian, Ayurvedic or Hindu traditional and ancient cooking wisdom, one of the least gassy (focus on least because every lentil, pulse and bean will produce gas) , Green bean or Moong Daal is the most clean. Also one specific condiment called Heeng in Hindi (Asafoetida) is a must for all gassy foods. These days pure Heeng is rare to get, but u do get its compound. A pinch of pure heeng is good for one cup of pulse/lentil/beans...but as a powdered compound , go ahead and use upto a tsp. U will have to learn by instinct how potent the brand u r using is.
True. I've heard about heeng it's sold in Asian or Indian shops. The powder smells awful! But it's supposed to be good and is often used in Dhal lentil stew or soup. I use ginger in all my cooking so never noticed the issue.
I used to love black eyed beans as a child never mind the gas. But nowadays I avoid them as I experience diarrhoea also with it. 🤔
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.
New sub! Your delivery is so happy and informative. I'm transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle.
Oh how wonderful! I’m wishing you the best sis 💕 Free gift for your journey at choosingmyhealth.com/gamechangers ❤️
Loved this video young lady. Not only are you beautiful but you're also personable. And you are accurate. We're I forty years younger I'd have my people track you down while I'm trying to meet you. As it were .... we missed on generations but by gosh, I am now subscribed, bell rung, commented, upvoted, liked, shared .... may the algorithm gods smile favorably upon your channel. Oh, and I use the instapot big time. You gotta soak them beans y'all! ... with a little baking soda! Yes! Absolutely! Soak them overnight. PS ETA: Instead of using Kombu (which is how they make Kombuci) use sour kraut (sp) and carrots.
I do soak over night. Then I pressure cook in my stovetop Presto Mom gave me when I got married in 1970! Love beans. I love to add a carrot and some cumin! Haven't used the soda soak but may try.
I'm not vegetarian, just love beans. Thanks for the tips.
Key thing is to do the SOAK in the Refrigerator. It is fermentation that causes the problem. Soaking in the cold fridge instead of a warm room prevents fermentation. Rinse well after soaking overnight. Cook the beans WITHOUT SALT. Salt prevents water from penetrating to the core of the bean. 100% digestible when prepared this way.
I use Apple cider vinegar when I finish cooking it. It seems to help the gas. Love your suggestions.
I'm proud of u....that legit made me cry❤
You are so worth it ❤️
Thank you for your healthy and beautiful video. I love beans. We eat them every week. I learned your tips from my grandmother. It works ❤
I never knew what soaking beans was for so if I decided to cook them in the evening I would just wash and cook. So thank you for letting me know why it’s important.
I also believe sprouting them makes it more healthy and degassed
Thanks, great presentation! I soak chick peas, then I sprout them. After cooking I de-hull (Is a bit of work though), but then if I make a big batch of hummus I can freeze it. And after freezing and defrosting it still tastes way better than store bought.
I tried cooking beans with the baking soda and it tasted awful, even after draining the water and rinsing the beans. Had to toss them out. I think your idea of using baking soda in the soak water and rinsing very well before cooking seems a lot better. Anyway I’ll try the kombu seaweed.😊
very pleasant personality. Yes we in India use all the methods that you mentioned here like soaking, using baking soda, using ajawain for tempering while cooking the beans. Thanks so much for this wonderful presentation. I have subscribed to support you. and hit the liek button. Thanks.
Oh thank you for your support Meera! God bless you 🙏🏽❤️
Awesome tips, I can't wait to try this the next time I make hammocks and beans....
Indians always use ginger, garlic, fennel , cumin seeds when cooking beans and lentils to prevent gas and for good digestion
Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge may God give you more so you can continue sharing👍
Thanks from Brazil ❤
Lately beans have caused extreme gas bloating and is very painful. If my husband cooks them, I’m sure to suffer with horrible pain that keeps me in bed! I take longer time when soaking, rinsing, repeat. My whole family loves all beans. I do use a pressure cooker when cooking them and don’t suffer from colic pain. I grew up eating black beans with everything and I’m hoping it’s just my husband’s poorly cooked beans that makes me so ill.
Well rinsed canned beans tend to be more digestible than soaked + drained beans
