Here are some tips to help you turn off the gas:
- Choose wisely: some beans seem to create less gas than others. These include adzuki and mung beans, lentils, and black-eyed, pigeon, and split peas. Heavy-duty gas formers include lima, pinto, navy, and whole soy beans.
- Soak your beans: Soak beans for 12 to 24 hours in water, pour off the soaking water, rinse, add clean water, and cook.
- Start slow: Let your body get used to beans by having a small serving once or twice a week. Then gradually increase your intake, either by taking larger servings or eating beans more frequently.
- Put your teeth to work: The more thoroughly you chew beans, the more you expose them to natural enzymes in your saliva.
Selection And Storage:
Whether purchasing lentils in bulk or in a packaged container, make sure there is no sign of moisture or insect damage and that the lentils are whole and not cracked. Store lentils in an airtight container in a cool, dry and dark place. Stored this way, they will keep for up to 12 months.
If you purchase lentils at different times, store them separately since they may feature varying stages of dryness and therefore will require different cooking times. Cooked lentils will keep fresh in the refrigerator for about three days if placed in a covered container.
