DMF said:Phytates are "anti-nutients" found in legumes. They supposedly combine with essentials minerals and wash them away in the digestive tract. But I've heard there's a way to remove them - but not sure how. Anyone know?
I"ll quote the study soon-ishAlways loved that Steinbeck quote : )
If you were going to consume beans in light of what Narouz said:
soak 2 days in FILTERED water. can't stress filtered enough.
cook, then salt-mash-airlock them in mason jars, a study said this will remove almost all the phytate.
Soaking and pressure cooking can reduce nasty stuff quite a bit.Is there a truly safe manner in which to prepare/cook beans so I might enjoy them on a regular basis? I don't want to risk malnourishment in any way, but I'd love to know if eating them can really be accomplished safely...thank you in advance.
They only affect nutrition of that one meal. Assuming the rest of the diet is OK, it won't cause any more malnutrition than ice cream.I have always liked beans...navy bean soup, black beans, refried beans, baked beans....mmmmm, yummy.
I quit eating all legumes several years ago due to severe gut issues. Well, I put them to the test recently to see if my guts could handle it and they did!!! I ate an entire can of organic black beans (rinsed) with no intestinal issues whatsoever.....they were so delicious and now I want to add them back in to my diet.

No, but has lots of calories and usually little micronutrient. Phytic acid causes a meal to effectively have less micronutrient.Ice cream causes malnutrition? I was NOT aware of that....
My diet is very good, I was just trying to branch out a bit, more variety so to speak. I'm growing tired of milk, cheese and OJ (never thought I say those words).
Doesn't sound like beans should be on the menu too often though.
At the Weston A Price site, they talk about soaking grains and legumes in an acid medium: lemon juice or yogurt (started with warm water).Phytates are "anti-nutients" found in legumes.
