Question: Why do lentils, beans etc give us terrible wind!?
Answers:
Stacy Marie and Robert are correct!. Our intestines are unable to deal with such a highly complex carbohydrate as beans, so they pass on to the colon nearly intact!. There, they are attacked by bacteria, which release methane as a by-product, and which causes you to become bloated and "gassy"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A few tips:

-Try cooking them on low for a bit with the lid off!.
-In the States, they have a product called "Beano"!. Taken before meals it helps with the digestion process!.
-In Mexico, they use an herb called epazote' during the cooking process!. It is said to help in "de-gassing" the beans as they cook!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Beans, beans are good for your heart the more you eat the more you fart the more you fart the better you feel so eat your beans at every meal!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Our bodies lack the enzymes needed to digest them properly!.
Try taking some Beano pills before you eat them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I believe because they are high in iron and fiber!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They are harder to digest than other foods!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

anything with high in fiber will!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
