Ok, the soup takes slightly longer to cook but it’s important to cook pulses and legumes properly to ensure the lectins have been removed. According to Dr. Gundry Lectins are responsible for causing most lifestyle illnesses. In his book the Plant Paradox he explains lectins and their side effects. You can buy his book safely at amazon. Dr. Gundry also has a book out called the Energy Paradox where he explains how to get your energy back through diet.
