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.
The US liquid quart is slightly smaller than a liter. They are called comparable measurements in the same way that a meter is comparable to the yard for estimation purposes, â¦ although it is 10% longer. A liter is about 1.06 US quarts, making a quart equal to .946 liter. *Confusingly, there is also a measure called the dry quart which is 1/32 of a bushel, equal to 1.1 liters, and the UK Imperial quart, which is 1.136 liters. 3 people found this useful.
