Guest guest Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Hi - A trick I learned in my macrobiotic days was to put a piece of dried kombu seaweed in with the beans when you're ready to cook them. The seaweed softens and dissolves, and adds salt and trace minerals to the beans. The beans are also more digestible - less gas. You might also want to try "Beano", which is supposed to help regarding gassiness. Other than that, overnight soaking, baking soda, skimming the foam off the cooking beans - all that helps.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 I have not looked at it but I was told that there are beano drops that you can put in your food before eating it and that this product is veggie safe - it is only the capsule form that contains the gelatin - but do your homework first of course!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 The Beano company was contacted by a lady from another list and their response posted. Their product contains gelatin (even the drops as a stabilizer) and are not vegetarian. They also stated they have no plans to change back to the original which was seaweed based. This was in the last couple of days, sadly. HTH BL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~What does Yhwh Elohim require of you?To act justlyand to love mercyand To walk humbly with your Elohim.
