    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.

    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...

    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.

  • @nomparfait
    @nomparfait 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +77

    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! 😄

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 have IBS and endometriosis, so for me it’s not just gas but incredibly painful (basically debilitating) cramps and bloating. I cut out beans completely a number of years ago. 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. I recently got an instant pot so I’m going to give these methods a try and see if they work for me. Thanks so much for all of the tips!

I've basically stopped eating beans because of the gassiness and other issues but if I can eat them without the negative stuff it'll be a game changer because I love beans and used to eat them like crazy (until I realised they were a big part of what was messing up my stomach).

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.
