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.
Quart, unit of capacity in the British Imperial and U.S. Customary systems of measurement. For both liquid and dry measure, the British system uses one standard quart, which is equal to two imperial pints, or one-fourth imperial gallon (69.36 cubic inches, or 1,136.52 cubic cm). The U.S. system has two units called a quart, one for liquid measure and a slightly larger unit for dry measure.
