    To reduce or eliminate gas from eating beans, I always add about a tablespoon of powdered Ginger or diced ginger root to two cups of dry beans while cooking. When I do this I never have gas after eating the beans. The ginger in combination with chili powder adds tremendous flavor to the beans.

    My Mexican mother-in-law cooked her beans in a clay pot over an open wood flame. She added only salt and never soaked them.
    I've been adding herbs and spices to my beans since I can't remember when. I choose to always use fresh ingredients rather than dried whenever possible.
    Thyme is a favourite as are various varieties of chilies. Black beans are the family favourite, and as we're not vegan or even vegetarian, a smoked pork hock often goes into the pot.

I never had any beans other than kidney beans (sometimes refried at the Mexican places which I loved). Then in my 30's I started to make my own beans and that is where my love started. Now I can make all kinds of recipes and I just wonder where have beans been all of my life?

    I live in South Carolina and I love to make little bowls of collards, black-eyed peas, onions and garlic of course, Cajun seasoning, and top it off with what we call pepper vinegar. Sometimes I add tomatoes (cooked or raw) and cooked okra. We also have hot picked okra which is a good topping. VERY southern dish. Served with a vegan cornbread.

I have been watching and learning from you nonstop, since discovering your channel last week. I am not vegan or vegetarian, which is why I’ve been hesitant to write you. Know that you are having a most positive influence on so many of us.You are funny, natural, goofy, unaffected, a genius, and the best channel I have encountered!

    I'm glad to see you emphasizing not adding salt to the raw beans because it makes them tough. I think a lot of people don't know that. Way back in the 60s I read that if you keep the beans damp for a few days and let them begin to sprout it increases the vitamin content immensely. I used to do that and I thought it made the beans more tender. Don't let them sprout too much because they look like maggots in the beans.

Also, I add in a little nicely aged Balsamic Vinegar and a finely diced Jalapeno pepper and a small teaspoon of powdered mustard into my Southwest Black Bean Soup.

Would disappear overnight; really good. Make same thing now without meat; still gets gobbled up.

    Stopped by my local Indian grocery for fresh turmeric and decided to try something new, so I also grabbed a package of yellow mung dal, which are split yellow mung beans,. The mung dal turned out to be a whole foods version of orzo pasta. LOVE the stuff and was so happy to find it - really missed rice pilaf but don't eat pasta anymore because of the empty carbs. Mung dal is the perfect stand in to replace the orzo pasta in pilaf and you can even toast it as you would orzo pasta.
    If you pre soak you can toss mung dal in a pot with some fresh ginger, fresh turmeric, and other Indian spices and loads of veggies in tomato-based broths (can of tomatoes or a tablespoon or two of tomato paste does the trick) and just bring it all to a boil and you're done.

    Of course soak beans overnight and rinse; my sis gave me an instant pot last year and I find the beans come out way softer using this method. My Dad's dish was Serbian pasoulj, which just means bean soup; he used a lamb shank or ham hock and serious amounts of smoked paprika, garlic, herbs, hot pepper, bell pepper etc.; I loved this dish, and as a vegan fiddled with it so that flavour was authentic without the meat. What I like about using the instant pot is that although creamy canalinni (sp) beans are optimal, chickpeas in a pinch are soft enough to use. Great, helpful video. If anyone is interested in the kind of bean soup I mentioned, I will try and post it where it is most available; the videos I watched were not in English. Cheers all!

    Have you had black lentils? My favorite bean to make in my InstantPot! When I'm in a rush I add the soaked lentils with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, cumin and that's it! I like to slow cook vs high pressure!

      You can cook littles quickly without a pressure cooker on the stove. Mix lentils otherwise you can develop allergies after many years.

    Thank you very much for explaining things. I’ve had a terrible diet for the last 4 years and am paying the price now. I’m trying to learn how to cook healthy (with things I like) to undo the damage. I have quite a lot of weight to lose and have never actually learned anything about reading nutrition labels, etc. I am 37 (but look older & fatter) and am trying to look for these types of videos to steer me in the right direction.

    Do you know you can do “bean paste” kinda like hummus? that’s how we eat beans in Guatemala (we also eat the the way you do). Anyways, you blend your beans then you put them in a pan and move them regularly so they don’t stick, let them cook until the desire consistency is achieved and voilà! You can eat them with tortillas or bread (heaven) you can eat them with nachos, bananas, plantains, etc. They’re super ricos!

    I love using 5 squares of dried kelp per 6-7 cups of dry beans that were sprouted. I have over done it with kelp before, and 5 squares is probably too much, but I like it that way and the absence of bean gas is great too. I eat about a can worth of beans per day, so 7 cups of dried beans last maybe 10-12 days.
    Also I like to keep my legumes basic. That way I can vary things up. So I don't even use garlic for chickpeas, due to also making cookies from them.

    Thank you so much for finally getting me to use my Instant Pot! This turned out great despite the fact I may have let the water/steam out too much? It was steaming (and making my apartment smell amazing) the whole time. There was not much water left over when they were done.
    I was worried when researching cooking times for black beans in the Instant Pot (once I already started it). A lot of other people online recommend more or less time than the 15 minutes for black beans, but they were perfectly firm, yet thoroughly cooked with the 15 minutes (and waiting 20 minutes after for the pressure to release/temp to decrease). Also I was worried I used too many spices as I only cooked 1 pound of beans, but they were not too strong.

      If you add a pinch of baking soda to the soaking liquid, the cell walls of the beans will break down much easier and not only will they be more tender, they will be easier to digest, thereby producing less gas.
