Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Hello, My name is Kim and I am new here. I was wondering if anyone could help me with a few questions? First, I have ordered Back To Basics grain mill... is this a good one? Also, can someone reccomend a dehydrator? And my last and unrelated to the first two question: When cooking dry beans... does your body eventually get used to them and not get so gassy? My 3 year old had black eyed peas on rice last night and tooted for hours afterward. Thanks, Kim ===== Visit our photo pages http://www.geocities.com/kimsavage8180/savagephotos.html http://www.growingfamily.com/webnursery/hospitals/template/babypage.asp?URLID=2K\ 5M5G2K3Q Get email at your own domain with Mail. http://personal.mail./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2001 Report Share Posted March 17, 2001 Kim, Gas is caused by the starches in the beans which are hard to digest. It helps to rinse the beans after soaking and cook them in fresh, clean water. I also rinse them again after cooking (the foam you sometimes see on top of the water when you cook is the starches). Also, adding a piece of Kombu (seaweed) to the cooking water helps to break down the starches and make them more digestible. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2001 Report Share Posted March 17, 2001 Hi Kim, Good news for you nose. The body does eventually get use to beans. If you put them as a constant into your diet, 2-3x a week the gaseous effect will eventually dissapear, you just need time to adjust. And after 3x a week you can eat them every day if that is what you want. That is how i did it... good luck jessica Kim Savage <kimsavage8180 wrote: Hello, My name is Kim and I am new here.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2001 Report Share Posted March 18, 2001 You do get used to them, but how they are cooked also makes a difference. They have to be thoroughly cooked, and thoroughly chewed (hard with a 3 year old!). In some recipes, you can put some kombu at the bottom of the pot, that helps with digestion. Or, if you are using a thickener, use kudzu, that is also a digestion aid.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Another tip on making beans more digestible is to rinse them three times! You rinse the beans and then put them in water to soak overnight then before you cook them rinse them twice more. This really helped at my house. (This is with dried beans of course Good Luck!
