 What Are Lectins and Where Can You Find Them

Lectins are natural, carbohydrate-binding proteins found in most plants, but they don’t really have any nutritional value when consumed in foods. Lectins work from inside the plant form as a natural insecticide to repel and destroy insects.

Basically, lectins are considered the plant self-defense mechanism.   

So, what can you eat?

If you’re going to try a lectin free food or no-lectin diet, try these foods in moderation, which all contain low lectin levels:
