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.
The Reputed quart was a measure equal to two thirds of an Imperial quart, or one sixth of a gallon, about 0.7577 litres. It was previously recognised as a standard size of wine bottle in the United Kingdom, and is only slightly larger than the current standard wine bottle of 0.75 litres.rom this definition is derived the metric equivalencies for inches, feet, and miles; as well as area measures; and measures of volume. The US liquid quart equals 57.75 cubic inches, which is exactly equal to 0.946352946 litres. The US dry quart is equal to 1/4 of a US dry gallon, exactly 1.101220942715 litres.
