The lectin content (average 11.91 mg·g−1) is high in the grain of soybean (29), whereas it is low in adzuki bean (30). We found that legume lectin genes in adzuki bean showed significantly lower gene number ratio than that of other sequenced legume species with an exception of chickpea.
Which beans are lowest in lectins?
Proper soaking and cooking, as well as choosing some of the lower lectin options like Great Northern beans, green beans and lentils, can make these a reasonable option when used sparingly. Most canned beans have not been soaked or cooked properly to reduce lectins.
Are adzuki beans inflammatory?
Adzuki beans are also rich in antioxidants, which experts believe may have some anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetes effects ( 3 ). Rich in fiber and antioxidants, adzuki beans may help block the absorption of sugars in your gut, potentially contributing to better blood sugar levels and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
