Beans are good for us for many reasons and are a great source of protein! One of the main reasons some people don’t eat beans is due to the gas they can deliver. However, you can do some things to lower this. First, make sure you rinse canned beans very well. If using dry beans, soak them about 8 hours. Discard the soaking water and rinse well. Don’t serve them with dairy products like cheese and sour cream. Dairy can cause stomach bloat and gas as well. If you’re vegan you wouldn’t use dairy anyway. Instead, serve them with easily digestible foods like a side of rice (grains) and a salad (greens). Also, if you’re not used to eating beans you should start by only eating 1/4 cup and slowly increase your intake daily.
