- Proper cooking destroys most lectins - never eat raw beans
- Pressure cooking is highly effective at reducing lectins
- Peeling and deseeding reduces lectin content
- Fermentation can reduce lectins in some foods
- Sprouting may increase or decrease lectins depending on the food

What to know about carrot juice
Carrot juice keeps the clean chemistry of the carrot: no histamine, no salicylate flag, no oxalate, no nickel, no nightshade. What juicing changes is the load. Stripping the fibre out and pressing several carrots into one glass turns a low FODMAP vegetable into a moderate FODMAP drink, and it rates borderline on low-fermentation and SIBO protocols where the whole root rates clean. Drink enough of it daily and it can also tint your palms orange, which is harmless.
Watch for
- Rates borderline for low-fermentation and SIBO diets, unlike the whole carrot which is clean.Fibre-free sugars arrive fast and in quantity, which is the part that feeds bacterial fermentation
- Moderate FODMAP as a drink, because a glass is several carrots deep.The same amount of carrot eaten whole would take you far longer and come with its fibre attached
- Carotenemia: a large daily habit can turn the palms, soles and sometimes the face a yellow-orange shade.It is cosmetic, reversible within weeks of cutting back, and unlike jaundice it spares the whites of the eyes
- Check the bottle.Commercial carrot juice is frequently blended with apple or orange juice, both of which rate far worse for FODMAPs, and mixed vegetable juices often add tomato and salt
