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 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 ....

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!

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 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.

@dparab123 8 месяцев назад

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.

@2okaycola 8 месяцев назад

Interested in hearing more from you about this

@nomparfait 8 месяцев назад

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! 😄

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.

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.

@LastTrump7 Месяц назад

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.

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.

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?

@allyndrethprime 8 месяцев назад

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.

Thanks for widening my knowledge of different types of ways to gas. Soaking overnight always a family go-to. I use kombu to add flavor to soups or rice, never thought for beans 🤔. I'll try some of these out. Sending 🕊 🕯❤️🙏🏽

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! ❤

Could you please elaborate on the baking soda remark you made?

@KatByte4U 8 месяцев назад

@@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!

@carolpeek7429 9 месяцев назад

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.

@juliamuth8288 8 месяцев назад

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!

@alexstone9099 8 месяцев назад

I relate as a fellow IBS sufferer who also gets those excruciating cramps and a whole bunch of nastiness in my stomach region 😂 I'm praying this will work. 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).

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.

@aprilpina-jones834 28 дней назад

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.

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.

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😜.

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.

@ChoosingMyHealth 8 месяцев назад

@marionbartley214 there are various methods. While many do not discard the bean water, you absolutely can if you prefer.

@muszicluvher 7 месяцев назад

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.

@monicaharris-green2400 8 месяцев назад

I've been soaking canned black, kidney beans, and chickpeas. Soaking over night makes 100%, near 100% difference. I've heard of soaking raw beans before, but I thought it was more related to the cooking process. I learned, recently, it can help with the gas issue. I want to try it. I like the other ideas you mentioned. I love beans and so glad I found a comfortable way to eat them. Unfortunately, I still feel like I have to avoid or limit eating beans from a restaurant or potluck.

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.

@MindfulEating-n3c 8 месяцев назад

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
