How to avoid intestinal gas after eating legumes?
There are a few ways to deal with this. Firstly, do not cook the legumes in the water in which they are soaked – the water is full of gasses released by the legumes! It is recommended to change the water several times while soaking. Secondly, place a piece of Japanese kombu seaweed or a sliced potato in the cooking water to absorb the gases – they “know” how to absorb the gases. You can also eat legumes sprouts that do not cause gas.
