Cleaning the beans like this before briefly rinsing gives me great results. The water turns brown when I stir it with my fingers, I think the beans rubbing against themselves does a lot of the work.
So it’s faster. It saves water. It may do a better job since I still rinse them after. My beans turn out excellently this way, and I get the desired effect of less gassiness compared to when I don’t do this.
If you aren’t already using dry beans instead of canned, it’s definitely the healthier option to do it from dry. Even if you buy no salt beans with no preservatives, the cans generally have a plastic lining these days that could be leaching chemicals ultimately into the bean skin. I wish someone would do a study, because if the metal can leach into the liquid there’s no logical reason why plastic wouldn’t do the same thing with what chemists have long considered to be a universal solvent, water. If you can do it, you should!
