prepairing dried beans and lentles.- Marilyn :)

[Guest guest]

Dear Marilyn

 

Sure glad to hear you are fine and settling in here after a difficult period

While you are away, our dear Erin posted here that you must boil the beans more

than 10

minutes otherwise the beans will produce Lectin which will result in stomach

discomfort.

 

 

Hugs to you,

Wee

Soaking and then draining the water removes the indigestible sugars that are

in the beans, this is what causes people to have problems with beans.

I have never heard of that. He may be right, but I have never had any

discomfort from the beans. And soaking wouldn't remove any of it, would

it?? And thanks for the well wishes.

Here is information on cooking beans from the UK Food Standards

Agency. They take a particularly conservative approach to cooking

soya and kidney beans in particular

Dried pulses

Dried pulses need to be soaked and cooked before they are tender

enough to use. Dried kidney beans and soya beans contain toxins so

these need to be cooked properly before you can use them.

 

Cooking and storing pulses

 

If you're cooking dried kidney beans or soya beans, check the advice

below.

 

Many other types of dried pulses need to be soaked to make them

easier to digest. Cooking times vary depending on the type of pulse

and how old they are, so it's best to follow the instructions on the

packet or in a recipe book.

 

Cooking kidney beans

If you buy dried kidney beans, it's important to cook them properly.

This is because kidney beans contain a natural toxin (called lectin)

that can cause stomach aches and vomiting. However, it's easy to

destroy the toxin if you prepare the beans properly.

 

Follow these three steps to destroy the toxins:

 

1. soak the dried beans for at least 12 hours

2. drain and rinse the beans then cover them with fresh water

3. boil them vigorously for at least 10 minutes

 

Then you need to simmer the beans for approximately 45 to 60 minutes

to make them tender.

 

If you buy tinned kidney beans, they have already been through this

process so you can use them straight away.

 

Cooking soya beans

If you buy dried soya beans, it's also important to cook them

properly. This is because the raw beans contain a natural toxin

(which is called a `trypsin inhibitor') that can stop you digesting

food properly. However, it's easy to destroy the toxin if you prepare

the beans properly.

 

Follow these three steps to destroy the toxins:

 

1. soak the dried beans for at least 12 hours

2. drain and rinse the beans then cover them with fresh water

3. boil them vigorously for 1 hour

 

Then you need to simmer the beans for approximately 2 to 3 hours to

make them tender.

I have heard/read that you should drain the initial soak water to reduce the gas

producing STUFF but I've never had an issue either way. I'm guessing

everybody's insides behave differently. Beth

Adding a piece of kombu or epasote will really help

too.

Come on you target for faraway laughter,

come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

Lectin poisoning is something entirely different altogether

from a simple case of gas. Trust me on that.
