Beans, beans, the musical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot. Right?
These days I've found beans to be a great source of vitamins and protein, and they're easy on the budget. Problem is, you can get a little gassy after eating. And then it's not just your problem. It's everyone's.
Here are a couple ideas. If you like your beans out of a can, be sure to rinse them before cooking with them. Not only does this reduce the amount of sodium intake, but it takes away some of the gassy-ness of the beans.
Another great tip that I can attest to is to add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to whatever bean dish you are whipping up. It will fizz/foam just a little when you put it in there, most likely. That's okay. Just stir it in really well. This helped cut the "musicality" of the beans to almost nil.

This one comes from my mother, and when she told me this I almost slapped myself silly. I was tired of smelling the funky dish rag. You know what I mean. Dish rags get funky, especially when novice housekeepers like my older girls never wring them out and open 'em up to dry.
