There’s a herb called angelica - yep the same stuff that gets candied into stringy green strips - but the leaves used fresh is GREAT for reducing the fart component of lentils/beans/peas/asparagus. If you have a garden, then might be worth growing some. Add a frond to the beans as they cook and hoist it out before serving cos quite stringy. Epazote does the same thing but might be easier to find on iherb or similar. I wouldn’t cook legumes from scratch without epazote now.

Late reply, but Casa Iberica has dried epazote in stock quite regularly.
Asafoetida powder is used to a similar effect in Indian cuisine. I’ve also heard dried kelp (eg Japanese kombu) has a similar effect.
