Why not?

Black turtle bean (frijoles negros) and small red bean (frijoles rojos). 2 parts of the former and 1 part of the latter cooked together worked wonders for me.



What was the condition?


Don't laugh, but it was excessive flatus.


Can you explain how that works?

(also, my apologies. I laughed.)


Is it the added fiber?


Definitely, not.

The combination, or even both items separately, contains a ton of fiber. However, the result is contra to what's expected from eating such a food combination. Instead of making matters worse, like eating other beans (black-eyed beans, for example) would do, it completely stopped (cured) it.

I think it deserves further study by those in the area of research.


>Definitely, not.

I think you mean "definitely not". "Definitely, not" implies you first agreed and then yanked the agreement away. :)


White beans make you fart, darker beans don't.

I remember hearing that from a documentary on south american cultures where they mostly sustain themselves with black beans and kidney beans.
