Good day,
I read that raw grains and legumes have many different kinds of lectins, someof which are poisonous
to humans. I read that soaking and/or cooking removes or deactivates the poisonous lectins. My
question is whether it is safe to eat fresh raw corn and beans? I've done it in the past without
getting sick, but I am curious.
Thank you,
Ben

Interesting subject. Lots of interesting information out there online, none of it definitive (new-
ish field of study). This may be of interest to you:
