What are the most digestible beans?

Try sticking with the easiest bean varieties to digest such as: black-eyed peas, adzuki, anasazi, lentils and mung beans (general rule of thumb is the sweeter the bean, the easier to digest though sweetness is a relative thing!). The most difficult beans to digest are lima beans, navy beans and soybeans.

Why can't I digest beans anymore?

Beans and lentils contain high amounts of complex carbohydrates called oligosaccharides, sugars that the body can't digest because it lacks the enzyme to break them down in the small intestine.
