Here’s what you need to do…

Soak your beans in some cold water overnight as you normally would and rinse them…

Now add 2 teaspoons of Baking Soda…what?  That’s right, Baking Soda.  

Cover the beans with water and make sure you use a deep pot.  You’ll see why next…

And bring them to a boil.  Note:  Do not walk away from the pot of beans during this step or you will be sorry! The water will begin to foam up…

Drain the beans.  The water will look green but don’t freak out…
