| Some people add epazote to bean dishes as they are cooking. I add it to chili. Beans also cook well in a slow cooker/crockpot. Soak overnight, then drain and cook all day in broth on low, come home to yummy bean soup or stew. Don't add salt or vinegar or lemon, it toughens the beans. Salt after they are cooked. Beans are best eaten early in the day. Eating lots of beans for dinner at night, especially if you get home late is not a good idea. Eat beans in moderation, they are a rich food and don't sit well in your stomach for long periods of time. So eating earlier in the day when your digestive system isn't on low is best. Bean soup and bean pasta and bean salad for lunch. Small amounts of beans at night, for an early dinner. That will help a lot. Of course there's "Beano" but I've never used it. You can get epazote at Penzeys Spices, mailorder |
