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.
A quart is one-quarter of a gallon, so 32 oz. A pint is half a quart, so 16 oz. A cup is 8 ounces, which makes one quarter of a quart. From here, we do fractions of a cup; half cup=4 oz, quarter cup=2 oz, and an eighth of a cup is an ounce. A tablespoon is half an ounce. And then it breaks down, because a teaspoon is one-third of a tablespoon.
