       Actually, I've heard a number of things listed as being useful for
that purpose, including pretty much all of the seeds in the
dill/caraway/fennel family. I preffer those in other dishes than beans,
though--such as fennel seeds in the sweet and sour cabbage I make. I'm sure
I've *heard* of herbs used for this in India, but at the moment the only one
that's floating to the top of my brain is Epazote, which is Mexican instead.
And *it* isn't terribly effective, either, from what I can tell...........
