Can dry beans be dialyzed?

Here's one method for dialyzing dry beans (courtesy of Wendy Jones book on Demineralization): 1. rinse beans, put them in 4 times the volume of boiling water and boil for 15 min, then let stand for 1 hour. 2. now that the beans are swollen, each bean must be cut once. (put beans on flat surface, cutting groups of beans with large knife). Refill the pot with the same volume of fresh warm tap water, stir vigorously and let stand on the counter 1 hour. Then drain and replace the water with cold tap water, place in refrigerator 2 hours. As I recall, this is highly effective at reducing potassium, and about 20% of phos is reduced.

Jo, thanks so much for the method to dialyze beans. I love beans and my dietitan said they couldn't be dialyzed. I previously had a dietitan who said they could be dialyzed, but she told me just to soak them like potoatoes and that was incorrect too.
