Mushy Peas? Do they make YOU Fart??!


Question: Why do they make you fart? What is the reason?


Answers: Why do they make you fart? What is the reason?

Peas, as most pulses are slow to digest... This causes them to ferment in the stomach/intestines as they go "downward"... The fermentation causes gas which is expulsed...

wth?????!!!!!!!!!!

I'm an American living on the left coast. In my entire life, there was ONE place that offered mushy peas. It was a fish and chips/pub managed by a guy who was born and raised in Manchester. I had mushy peas there many times, and don't remember gas being a problem. Wish I could go back to have some just to see if they do. But I can't. The Hot Pot closed down about 22 years ago. Pity!

I LOVE mushy peas :)

It really depends on how your body processes certain foods. A pea is a legume, meaning that it can take slower to digest.

If you like legumes, but hate the horrible after maths... try beano :) Or eat yoghurt on a daily basis. It has some good enzymes that can help your stomach break down foods better.
