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...

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'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 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.

Doesn't help me

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.

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!

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.

very good.. my grandmother, we called her maamaw.. put baking soda in her beans.. when she made soup beans and cornbread.. she would load it up with saltpork.. such as was eaten during the great depression in Kentucky....

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.

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! 🙌🏿💞🌿

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 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!

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.

Thank-You Soooo Much!!! My Mother always soaked her beans before cooking, but I never knew why she did.😁💟

Incredibly informative. Thank you so much!

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.

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!

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.

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.😊

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😜.

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.

Excellent Excellent Excellent. Master class in 9 minutes. Thank you. I love beans but it gives the G trouble. Will try these tips. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Very helpful. I didn't know about the baking soda.

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. 🤔

Not a vegetarian by any stretch of the imagination. I avoid red meat quite a bit, but eat lots of chicken, shrimp and fish. BUT, I also LOVE veggies! I always love having great veggie recipes to share with friends who love them, and to make sure I get my veggies too. LOVE beans. Yes, I used to avoid them, but now that I'm retired, well, it just doesn't matter if I get a little gassy. LOL! Thanks for sharing your healthy inspirations!

God Bless you for your presentation !!!
