is all the gas being released that we release if we eat beans that haven't had this treatment. all the gas in the beans goes down the drain instead of being passed out of us! never again will you suffer from terrible gas after eating beans if you use this method.
once the baking soda action is done, (it takes just a minute or so), pour the beans into a colander or strainer and rinse. then, set aside.
because i use this method, i always cook my beans first and set them aside to add to my soup after it's done cooking. neither i, nor anyone else in my family, will stand
