Why lectin-free?
If you're up on latest diet trends, the Plant Paradox diet has surely entered your radar. The diet calls for avoiding lectins by cutting out a long list of foods, including nightshades (think: eggplants, tomatoes, red peppers), out-of-season fruits, grains, and raw legumes, to reportedly reduce inflammation, repair gut health, and prevent weight gain. Steven Gundry, MD, says if you want to heal autoimmune disease, IBS, arthritis, migraines, and brain fog, then you need to "stay away" from Lectins. Tomato seeds and skins contain lectins, and the Pomì brand Strained Tomatoes is the only brand that has the lectin-laced parts of the tomato strained out. *Pomì Strained and tomato Sauce is lectin-free.
