It also helps to soak the beans several times discarding the water each time.

  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



  The Apiaceae or Umbelliferae (both names are allowed by the ICBN) is a family 
of usually aromatic plants with hollow stems, commonly known as umbellifers. It 
includes angelica, anise, arracacha, asafoetida, caraway, carrot, celery, 
centella asiatica, chervil, cicely,coriander/cilantro, cumin, dill, fennel, 
hemlock, lovage, Queen Anne's Lace, parsley, parsnip, sea holly, the now 
extinct silphium, and other relatives. It is a large family with about 300 
genera and more than 3,000 species. The earlier name Umbelliferae derives from 
theinflorescence being generally in the form of a compound "umbel", and has the 
same root as the word "umbrella". The botanical subspeciality that studies 
Apiaceae is sometimes called sciadophytography.
