Although boiling under significant heat can reduce lectins in food, you can reduce the lectin activity without heat treatment. Soaking seeds and grains before allowing them to germinate, or sprout, can help reduce lectins and phytates. However, be careful when you sprout legumes.
A quart is a unit of measurement for volume. It is a quarter of a gallon or two pints. Because the imperial system and the American system use different gallons their quarts are different too. In the American system there are two different quarts. There is a wet quart and a dry quart. There is only one imperial quart.
1 dry quart = 0.038889 cubic foot. 24 cubic feet is about 617 dry quarts. Subtract the quarts you have, you need. 617 - 8 x 3 = 609 quarts. So, you need 609/8, about 76 more bags. -------------------------------------------------. Man, do yourself a favor and get one of the large 4 cu ft bags instead of by the quart.
