I use seeds from the Umbelliferae family in beans and they do make them more digestible and less or zero gas. I have used anise, coriander, celery, cumin, fennel, dill seeds in beans. First I grind them in an electric coffee mill. My favorite beans are chickpea, pinto and black beans. Chickpeas are the ultimate with a very good protein profile. I never make humus which is a disgusting greasy mess
