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 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. The imperial quart, used for both liquid or dry capacity, is equal to one quarter of an imperial gallon, or exactly 1.1365225 litres.
