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.
However in other parts of the world, a gallon is rather more than in the US. In the UK, a pint is 20 fluid ounces, or two and a half US cups, so a quart is 40 fluid ounces (5 US cups) and thus half a gallon, or two quarts, is in fact ten cups.If you're dealing in metric cups, then one cup is quarter of a litre (250ml) which is close to 8 fluid ounces, but not exact.
