Does Black Chana Cause Gas - #5203
I’ve been eating black chana (black chickpeas) as part of my daily diet for their health benefits, but I’ve noticed a problem—every time I eat them, I feel gassy and bloated. So now I’m wondering, does black chana cause gas? I love the taste and know they’re rich in protein and fiber, but these digestion issues are making me think twice. I always soak black chana overnight before cooking them, thinking it would help with digestion, but the gas and bloating don’t go away. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I’ve heard Ayurveda might have an explanation for this. Does black chana aggravate doshas like vat, which could lead to these symptoms? If so, what can I do to fix it? Are there specific spices or cooking methods that make black chana easier to digest? I usually cook them with cumin and turmeric, but maybe I need to add something else. Also, is there a certain time of day that’s better for eating black chana to avoid gas? I don’t want to completely cut it out of my diet because of its health benefits, but I really need to find a way to make it work without feeling so uncomfortable.
