tobenuel:I understand now. I am a lover of beans too and I used to purge seriously whenever I consume it. Until I learnt to drain out the water after boiling it. Since then it doesn't purge me again and I can eat it all day. Instead of draining it twice, you should just drain it once, then pour fresh water and shake the beans, then drain it the second time before putting it back on fire to cook. That is how I do now |

Ouchbabe: Let me just give you a breakdown of how I make my beans. * Pick and remove dirt and stones * Add salt generously and pour boiling hot water over it. Stir for about 10 seconds and drain off. Follow with a cold water rinse once or twice. ( This step is to remove harmful preservatives. You can skip this if you cultivated it yourself or you are sure of the source) * Put in a pan to parboil, adding about half teaspoon of baking soda ( not baking powder). * Once it boils well, I do any of the 2 depending on how much time I have at hand: (a) turn off the gas and leave the pot to stay for about an hour. Thereafter, proceed to the next step. (b) proceed to the next step immediately. * Rinse out the water used for parboiling. * Put in fresh water and continue cooking, adding baking soda again. Remember to stir occasionally so it cooks uniformly * Once beans starts getting tender, you can now add salt. * Adding your other ingredients depends on your style of finishing. Note: Baking soda is also called Bicarbonate of soda. |

NJV:Alright but I have a little bit reservation for the baking soda. Considering the fact that I cook beans often, wouldn't that be too much baking soda in my children's system? Growing up, my mum used potash (akanwu) to achieve quick tenderness but when I became older, I discouraged that. We resorted to cooking partly at night, then finishing up in the morning. Anyways I will make my findings on CONSTANT consumption of Bicarbonate of soda. Thanks and compliments of the season |

Ouchbabe: You're welcome. Baking soda is very good for gut health. Besides it's present in most pastries so definitely healthy for all, both kids and adults. You should however put little at a time. The half teaspoon I mentioned is what I actually use for 5 cups of beans. You can also do your findings like you said. Merry Christmas. 1 Like |
