Hello, Anon. Thank you for your message!

Lectins are a kind of protein that can bind to sugar. In small amounts, they may provide several health benefits. However, larger amounts can reduce your body's ability to absorb nutrients.

Below are some common foods that are high in lectins:
-Red Kidney Beans. Red kidney beans are among the richest sources of plant-based protein.
-Soybeans. Soybeans are a fantastic source of protein. ...
-Wheat. Wheat is the staple food for 35% of the world's population (18). ...
-Peanuts.
-Tomatoes.
Potatoes.
