I know most of us don't eat beans because of one big reason which is the because it makes us fart. Well, this reason does not deter me from eating it because it is one of my favorites.

Beans contains sugar molecules called oligosaccharides. This particular type of sugar is one that our bodies have a hard time digesting. When this sugar meet up with the bacteria in our large intestine, it produces gas, therefore making us fart.

Fortunately, there are ways to lessen its side effects

• Go slow - Add beans slowly into your diet. Start with just a few tablespoons and build up.
• Soak well and rinse well 
• Cook beans until very soft.
• Chew - Eat slowly and chew well each bite.
