Legumes: The Super Foods That Should Be Regulars on Your Plate - Hardcover

by Swarna Moldanado (Author)

Moldanado was curious to learn why legumes were so overlooked in Western diets compared to that of her native India. Her subsequent research turned up a number of misconceptions and inaccuracies as reasons for the prevailing lack of interest in them. This, in turn, led her to research legume-based diets in other parts of the world to ascertain what, if any, impact they had on health and disease in those locales. This book presents her findings.
