Frequently Asked Questions
Should you rinse canned black beans?
Yes, rinsing reduces sodium by 40% and removes the starchy liquid that can cause gas. If you want the liquid for thickening (like in soups), use it but reduce added salt.
How do you reduce gas from black beans?
Soak dried beans 8+ hours and discard soaking water. Add kombu seaweed while cooking. Introduce beans gradually to your diet so your gut bacteria adapt. Rinse canned beans well.
