Beans and legumes, in general, was a food I used to avoid completely. They made me so bloated, to the point I felt my abdomen was going to explode! Until I learned about phytonutrients and specifically what saponins are, and my life made a 360 turn for good! If you are reluctant to eat legumes for the same reason, just soak them in water for 72 hour (rinse and change water once a day). Since this is a very slow process, I soak legumes in batches so I can have them cooked and readyto serve for the entire month. I just choose my favorite ones, soak them, cook them and, finally, freeze them portioned.
