Hi! We use various beans and pulses in our Indian cooking and one tip my mum has taught me is to add fresh ginger when you cook the beans, it helps with the flatulence issue.
I’m so glad to see you back on UA-cam! I am going along on this journey with you. I have been thinking about giving up sugar because I can feel it’s effects immediately after having it. I keep falling off the vegan wagon, so I’m recommitting today. We’ve got this!
I've combined a couple handfuls of Organic Wild Rice Mix, and a couple handfuls of French Lentils. Wash, and cook. water saute a little red onion, and finish with a dollop of miso. Vegis, and salad occupy the other half of the plate. I squeeze an orange over the salad... over all, really. lol... So tasty.
Hi Natalie . Truly loving and feel inspired by ur videos.. So helpful in my vegan journey .. Been a vegetarian all my life but switch to Vegan is so much more beneficial… Just watched ur bean and legumes videos something my mum always used in her beans, lentils and legumes is an ingredient called Asafoetida… it in a powder form and you only need a pinch of it … Really helps improve digestion… Try it a real game changer for many of my friends who tried it … Great and valuable video content .. Just purchased ur book … .. with much gratitude 🙏
Please know that you are so much appreciated by me & my family. Thanks for all you do, we are so determined to get the vegan thing right so that it is a happy journey We also don’t use plastic, no chemical leaching & instant pot only needs 1 cup water in base; no watery results Huge thanks 🙏 l💕 😊 Sarah
Hi, great video! What you call pinto beans are called black eye peas here (Louisiana, USA). Please continue these informative and easy-to-watch videos!
Thanks for this video! I have been vegetarian for 14 years and have included beans in my diet. A couple of months ago I decided to give them up as I couldn't cope with the bloating and gas any longer! I feel so disappointed as I enjoy cooked bean dishes but I will give them a go again a couple of teaspoons at a time.
Oh I am so glad I have inspired you to try again, yes - just go so super slow, and tell yourself your body WILL adapt, it will change, and change the biome. All the best! Sending love.
I soak my beans in water with some baking soda. It helps to break down the outer skin a bit before cooking. I cook them in plain water. There is a herb called savoury that is supposed to help with digestion. I haven't noticed a difference, but if you're struggling you might want to try it.
Thank you so much for this Natalie! I love beans but after 3 months of vegan eating, I still have gas issues so this video gives me so much hope of one day being able to be around others 🤣
heheheh Don't give up, I know it can change - I used to coach and it was common for everyone, and it does improve, just take it slow! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for doing this video. I remember learning never to cook beans with salt, but didn’t know why. I’ve learned so much from you and really appreciate you taking the time to do this one. Thank you, Linda
Good advice. I’m going to try it. I’ve been plant based since December and I’m still really struggling with all those symptoms. Where I live pinto beans are speckled. Those beans look like black eyed peas. So many kinds to choose from.
Good luck with the beans, don't give up, it's still quite early days for you - You can still make the adjustments! 😂 BIG 'typo' of the brain! You're right - silly me, yes it's a silly mistake. I eat them both regularly!
Brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing these tips. I was vegetarian for many years before becoming WFPB vegan over 18 months ago and always have struggled with incorporating them into my diet. I've got a cupboard full of dried beans because I've been so loath to use them in dishes other than hummus. I use a spoonful most days with my meals and this seems okay so far. Thanks again 💞
@@WholeheartedVegan 🥰 thanks I meant the hummus in spoonful sorry sometimes I should reread what I type! Haven't tried your idea but definitely will start. Have got all sorts of beans in the cupboard. Spoilt for choice haha
@@lizziedripping71 ... you might start with Adjuki beans. Soak, cook in new water. Eat only a tablespoon at a time, no broth. Put a few days between bean meals, try eating them in a little miso broth. Helps the digestive process. Adjuki beans are small. Makes a difference.
Hello my friend but I have tell you that the mung beans or correct the gobizo beans only the that little white bean with a black dot on the those or black eye peas not pintos, pintos are light reddish brown with wavy like speck on them ok but your tips on cooking the beans or good to no so thanks I have some and going to sit and pick them
I would like to know why you recommend soaking beans and legumes in glass or ceramic containers, instead of plastic. What is wrong with soaking things in plastic containers? It looks to me as though you thought about telling us why and then maybe decided it would take you off topic for this video, but it could be very relevant, especially to those of us who would probably have to soak things in many different small glass containers, instead of one large plastic one! I would also like to know why you used so very little water in your Instant Pot with the beans you were pressure cooking. You might wonder perhaps why I use so much more, of course (which probably has something to do with cooking more beans to start with)! But I am curious as to what your thinking is behind this and the other query I raise above. I'd be grateful if you were able to take the time to explain.
hey Amanda, Great questions, It's personal preference with soaking the beans in non-plastics, I was told to do this myself years ago and it has stuck! I am sure using plastics is ok, I apologise for any confusion. I like to use little water because I find the flavours of the garlic, stock etc are more concentrated in the beans that way. Sometimes I will cook the beans in the pressure cooker, and tip them directly into the meal I am preparing, with the small amount of liquid too. If you are going to drain off the water (better for digestion for example) more water would be a good idea.
@@WholeheartedVegan Thank you so much. I will continue to soak things in plastic containers then, because that's what I've got. But as these things grow battered and manky (technical term) over the years, and I get rid of them, I'll be replacing them with much less plastic/alternative materials. I worry about some of the ingredients in plastic and whether they might leach into the things I'm soaking (for instance, I use a tap water filter and reusable metal water bottles now instead of buying plastic bottles of mineral water: for cost reasons as well as environmental ones), but since I'm not applying heat to dried beans, just soaking in cold water, I have successfully ignored that intrusive thought for many years, mostly because it would be costly to replace plastic en masse right now with other materials for my bowls etc. Thanks so much for the explanations, Natalie. I really appreciate that you took the time to explain. When I ask questions it's not about making a kind of attack on you or anyone, it's because I want to know the answers. Yes, it's all about me, LOL. So the questions come from the right place, even if my asking them might not always read that way! :-)
@AmandaJYoungs Researchers have found that on average 240,000 particles of plastic leach into a liter bottle of water in a plastic water bottle. Google it.

You can do it! YES!! I am so thrilled to hear this - I have a big smile on my face.

Excellent suggestions and great advice here Natalie, thank you, so very much yet again! 🌞
Glad it was helpful!
I’m glad you are back! I’m excited about the challenge and I just signed up!😊
Great! Soooo pleased!! 🥦🥦

Digestive enzymes help with the gas.
I agree we should always soak our beans. Pressure cooker or not :) Thanks for the thorough video on all things beans, Natalie! 💕
Heheeehe no worries, thanks Laura
Thank you for doing this video. I remember learning never to cook beans with salt, but didn’t know why. I’ve learned so much from you and really appreciate you taking the time to do this one. Thank you, Linda
You are so welcome! Yes, it's about digestion and 'toughness' apparently! 😃
Great video as always. You can freeze canned beans if you don’t use them all.
Great tip! I love the freezer, it's always packed! hehhe

Wonderful! You're doing it right, just a tiny amount each day. You'll get there!
@@WholeheartedVegan 🥰 thanks I meant the hummus in spoonful sorry sometimes I should reread what I type! Haven't tried your idea but definitely will start. Have got all sorts of beans in the cupboard. Spoilt for choice haha
@@samantharose2759 all the best with it Samantha!
Start with the smaller beans... Lentils, for example. Don't need to soak them.
Fantastic tip, absolutely! 💪🍴
I get wind (gas) after eating beans, but lentils (which I love) really really sets off a tornado 🤣🤣🤣

Can freeze them if you don't use them all also.

Can you tell me what is the type of pressure cooker please?
Hi Gill, I have a 'Pressure King' which I have been very happy with. There are various sizes. amzn.to/3jJTzjL
Those are black eyed peas not pinto beans, they are very different 💖
