Current USDA dietary guidelines suggest we eat lots of whole grains and beans. It is true that beans, legumes, and grains are chock full of vitamins and protein your body needs. However, they haven’t told you that they must be prepared in traditional ways so that you can actually digest them! Love beans but hate the gas? All of us have experienced the gastric distress of improperly prepared beans. Tummy ache, cramping, bloating and gas! Leave those canned beans behind for the nutrition of beans prepared in your own kitchen.
Whole grains are the hardest food for the human body to digest, and all grains contain anti-nutrients that must be neutralized before cooking. Phytic acid can block the absorption of calcium, magnesium, copper and zinc. Enzyme inhibitors can block enzymes. Gluten must be pre-digested, and traditional soaking techniques accomplish this with ease. The techniques explained on this chart translate into less strain on the digestive system, better digestive health and more nutrients available to your body. Learn how to prepare whole grains so that the minerals and enzymes are not lost!
