Un-Magical Fruit -- Beans, Beans Which Don't Cause Gas
Freep | 04/30/2020 | Charles Oconnell

Beans aren't inherently gassy, it is damaged protein from over-cooking that causes the unintended effects. Minimize cooking damage by most efficiently processing beans. It takes a cheap "corn mill" and a pressure-cooker.

Cracking un-washed beans in a kind of dry grain mill for "meal" not "flour", then washing them after cracking, soaking in hot water for a short time, then pressure cooking. The taste is like potatoes, the most gas-prone person won't experience the unpleasant effects.

The cheapest, steel-plate (vs. stone), "meal" (vs. "flour") mill, that will process whole corn, dried whole hominy (softer than corn), and brown-rice-meal (great for waffles), is Mexican made, especially for corn. Mexican Made in Mexico Cast Iron Hand Crank Manual Molino De Maiz molinillo Corn Grinder Wheat Grains coffee Nut Mill Tall.

A more expensive, easier to use "meal" grain mill is by Kitchen Aid, rated by the "Organic Gardening", Rodale Press as the best machined, best made grain mill.

A great video on buying a higher-end pressure-cooker. European-made, more recent ones, lack a top weight, they have interlocking handles and heavy-duty gaskets. But you can get a cheaper, older American made-one at a thrift store, but you have to have the detachable, therefore, lose-able Weight on top, don't buy without one.

This is way too much effort for freaking beans. If I want something that tastes like a potato, then I will simply eat a potato.

I went to school with a kid back in the 60’s who could pass gas anytime he wanted to - and did.

Probably the low-gas beans either have less of the particular sugar that causes gas, or they contain an extra enzyme that makes that sugar more digestible.

My [All?] Instant Pot has a safety weight/pressure release. Doesn’t that go against the suggestion for high-end Euro-style?

OTOH, the manual PC can be placed in the sink under running water to “depressurize”.

If I’m in a hurry, I’ll put a wet sponge on the metal area of the IP lid, and cover the release with a wet paper towel before venting.

Proves an old adage someone once told us “A fart is always funny.”

Back in the 70’s we became friends with missionaries who had lived in Venezuela and Mexico. They said that adding a couple of tablespoons of vinegar to the soak water would take care of the flatulence issue.

Apple cider vinegar or white vinegar? Or does it matter?

Soak dry beans in cool water for 12-24 hours before cooking. Replace water at least twice, rinse thoroughly before cooking. Add a pinch of powdered ginger while cooking. No gas, guaranteed.

Or you could just eat beans often and you system becomes accustom and you do not become windy.

Now for a poem.

Beans, Beans they're good for your heart
The more you eat....
The more they kick you off the air if you finish this poem.
Thank you.
