Anti-Nutrients: What Are They And Should We Avoid Them
Manage episode 355237028 series 3037327
Anti-nutrients are substances in food that reduce the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.
In this episode, we discuss what anti-nutrients are, the effects of excessive consumption, and ways to reduce or neutralise their effects.
What are Anti-Nutrients?
We know that all foods contain nutrients - however what's less known is that some plant foods including grains, seeds, nuts, and legumes, contain compounds which are known as anti-nutrients. They are the compounds that act as a form of defence mechanism in the plant, helping to protect it from infections or consumption by animals and insects.
Anti nutrients include phytate, lectins, tannins and oxalates (and there are a few more)
