after a lifetime of bean love ...i guess i'm now 'acclimatized' great link ..thanks sibram!
[h=4]Acclimatization[/h]Most dieticians teach that the best way to reduce bean-related flatulence is to regularly eat small portions of beans. The stomach will slowly learn how to process the legumes, and over time, even vast quantities should not cause gas. Starting out with a big bowl of beans is likely to cause problems, even if they were soaked or exposed to baking soda.

You don't need to soak split peas or lentils! If a package of beans is old (I don't know how old), then often they don't soften up while cooking.
....well, I learned something new! The only beans I have ever "cooked" are split peas and lentils....and rarely, due to the gaseous results! Never "soaked" either kind before cooking.....will try that next time and it may open a few new Windows - and not to get fresh air in!

We love beans too, and they are so good for you. A couple of days ago I made a big pot of bean soup with all types of beans, hamburger meat, lots of onions and garlic, diced tomatoes with green chilies, jalapenos and all sorts of spices. Then, I made a pan of cornbread to go with them. We took a small crockpot of the bean soup and a small pan of cornbread over to a friend who just got out of the hospital.

I am the only member in our household that loves beans but I really enjoy everyone's opinions and suggestions. I soak my navy beans over night and then rinse and put in a crock pot and cook on slow all day. Actually, the beans are better the second and third day! I only add chopped onion and put a ham slice in for flavor. Does anyone use ham or salt pork?

try adding them to some wide noodles too. the special flavor of beans is wonderful with just about everything. my son is making a dish that he copied from an oriental restaurant that he & his little girls love. they call it yummy bowls. he steams rice and they add their own sides to the top of the rice --nori, black olives, onions and black beans ..whenever we visit now they have daddy make yummy bowls just for me lol ..it's delicious
