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