See page 105, edition 10 of BTVC for instructions on soaking and cooking beans.

Unfortunatley there are no shortcuts when getting rid of the indigestible starch

in beans.

if you have a pressure cooker there is not need for soaking the beans. You just

wash them, put some water and cooked them acording the direction of you pressure

cooker. My mom usually cooks a 1lb bag of bean this way,and them she freeze them

in serving size containers, mark the day and we use it as we need it. If you do

not have a pressure cooker, you could soak the beans in enough water to cover

overnigh, then darin inthe morning. Then in the moring bring water and the beans

to boil, once boiling reduce the heat to medium tem, cover and simmer until

tender, you may need to add more water depending on the quality of the beens. I

really recommed you to get a pressure cooker, it is more faster. Once the beans

are done my mom seasoned with cilantro, onion, garlic, salt, green pepper and a

little tomatoe paste, but all depend if you child can tolerated this. Anyhow I

hope this help. If not I am sure other ideas will come in.

is the quick prep method for beans - bringing them to a boil, let them

sit for an hour, then cook - effective in making beans easily digestible?

No. Beans must be soaked and rinsed as per the instructions in BTVC

to remove indigestible starches. After that they can be cooked. When

I have done it I soak them overnight 8-10 hrs or if going to put them

in the crockpot overnight I start soaking them first thing in the

morning.

Hi Ana,

Even if you use a pressure cooker the beans will still have to be

soaked for 8-10 hrs and rinsed before cooking. The soaking pulls out

3 indigestible starches out of the beans and the rinsing washes them

away.

garlic, salt, green pepper and a little tomatoe paste,

Also, commercial tomato paste is SCD illegal. Homemade tomato paste

is fine.
