beans & gas

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

I don't cook beans from scratch much myself but I have heard that

fresh ginger cuts the gas as well. This makes sense to me as it is so

prevalent in Indian food. For myself I make sure to rinse the canned

beans really well until the soapy bubble like stuff has run off. Also

if I store leftover beans in the fridge I keep th container slightly

ajar to allow gas to escape (this keeps them from going bad longer) & I

rinse them again before eating them.

or 4 inch section of kombu and add it to beans.

hiya the indian herb 'hing' is also supposed to help with gas (according to ayurveda [indian medicine]). it smells grim! but you only need a tiny amount. cheers maya up_path <up_path wrote: Hello,I don't cook beans from scratch much myself but I have heard that fresh ginger cuts the gas as well.
