Bang in Some Beans: Do Beans Give you Wind?

In this episode of Bang in Some Beans, we're tackling the thorny question - does eating them give you wind?

MasterChef winner, gastroenterologist and fibre expert Dr Saliha Mahmood-Ahmed, explains what really happens in our gut when we add more beans to our diet, while Hannah Wilding from Bold Bean Co reveals how slow-cooking them can help your digestive system.

Presenter Melissa Hemsley also hears the verdict of Food Ambassador Jo McLoughlin, who tests Dr Saliha's Bean Quesadillas recipe.
