My aunt's trick for cheap dried beans finally paid off

She told me to soak them overnight with a piece of kombu. I thought she was crazy but tried it anyway last week. Beans came out tender in half the time, no gas either. Anyone else have a weird tip that actually works?

Did your aunt say why kombu works? My buddy tried it and his beans turned to mush.

Used to roll my eyes at this trick but now I'm a believer, lol.
