How to Prepare Gas-Free Legumes / Beans / Lentils

Sadato Hosoda

1. Soak overnight, then throw away the water (Note: traditional cultures soak beans – this removes phytates which are anti-nutrients in beans, and also cuts down on gas)

2. Parboil, then throw away water

3. In avocado oil or grape seed oil, fry 1/4 teaspoon of *hing and 1 teaspoon of cumin per 2 cups of legumes

4. Add the legumes and do your recipe

*Hing (asafoetida) is a good substitute for onions and garlic and lower FODMAP (What Are FODMAPs?)

Here is some gluten-free hing (asfoetida) powder I have found: Natural Asafoetida Quality Compound Organic (Amazon)
