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.
Other measurements also relate to quarts. A quart consists of 2 pints, and each pint is 2 cups, or 16 ounces. Quarts are also smaller parts of a whole. One gallon equals 4 quarts, and half a gallon is 2 quarts. Since each quart is 32 fluid ounces, a gallon is the same as 128 fluid ounces. When converting to the metric system, a quart is just slightly smaller than a liter.
