5. Lectins. Lectins are found in high quantities in beans and wheat, which as mentioned earlier reduce nutrient absorption and can cause indigestion, bloating and gas for many people.
Lectins can also be found in the oils of seeds and nuts. The most important food sources of lectins are grains, beans, nuts, seeds, tomatoes, white potatoes, limes, cinnamon, and Jerusalem artichokes.lutens and other storage proteins are found on the inside of all seed foods (in the endosperm) , not in the bran-rich outer coating, which is probably why refined (powdered) grains are potentially less healthy than whole grains. All seeds contain storage proteins, but only the wheat family contains glutens.
