Don’t necessarily tolerate beans that well? Concerned about digestive distress? This is a very valid concern. Here are a few things you can do to make sure your salad is easier to digest:

  • Be very thorough when rinsing and draining your beans. Make sure you take your time and that there is no more “foam” visible when done washing this produce.
  • Utilize spring onions instead of regular onions.
  • Make sure to pair the salad with other food groups to balance your intake of fibrous nutrients when eating beans.
  • Start with smaller portion sizes and increase your bean consumption gradually.
