‘Special preparation is needed to reduce the toxicity of seeds, and in the case of beans, these methods are never very satisfactory.” -Ray Peat’ – What? People in the middle east have been eating all sorts of funny legumes for thousands of years and they were a pretty advanced society at times????
Boiling for 10 minutes deactivates it. I don’t understand why he was talking about it as if we are eating raw beans…
