Re: Beans ... was White bean hummus

[Guest guest]

Kim and all,

this is an interesting discussion.

All beans are polysaccharides? I didn't know that ... but of

course, it makes sense.

So I can't help but wonder why some beans are legal and others are

not. Are there certain polysaccharides that are better or different

than others? And if so, what is the determining factor that Elaine

used to allow some legumes and disallow the rest?

By the way, I made hummus out of lentils the other day and it was very

yummy.

All legumes are

polysaccharides, but Elaine felt a few were better tolerated if cooked

correctly and included them in the list of permitted foods. But

that is still no guarantee that all of us will tolerate them.
