If you don't soak the beans ...
Reading time - 3 minutes.
Beans are a product that requires a mandatory long soaking before cooking. Presoaked beans cook faster. Soaking also helps dissolve oligosaccharides in the beans, the complex sugars that are the main cause of flatulence after eating beans.
Beans must be soaked for at least 8 hours (preferably overnight). In the absence of such an opportunity, express methods will come to the rescue:
- During cooking, add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the beans. The beans will cook faster.
- Artificially create temperature differences during cooking. Bring the beans filled with water to a boil, after boiling, drain the liquid, pour again with a new portion of cold water, boil and drain. Repeat the "trick" with cold water until the beans are tender. And it begins to become soft after the third time.
