I am soaking some lima beans and have not made them in awhile. Is it baking soda that you put in a pinch, to reduce gas?

I put in a bit of baking soda because my MIL told me to. I thought it was supposed to help soften the beans faster, but I have no idea if it really works.
I think it’s a pinch of cloves. I use a smidgen of cloves in baked beans which helps to eliminate gas. I don’t know about Lima’s.
@cazzie Cumin, ginger, cloves, turmeric make my farts smell like a curry.
