Legumes and nutritional aspect
Legumes are pods of beans and nutritious food, the best known are legumes: beans, lentils, peas, beans, chickpeas and soybeans. Beans are a food used since long ago by the Aztecs, Mayas and Incas. The lentils, for its part, is the oldest legumes consumed by Mediterranean peoples, while soy is a very old staple food in East Asian people.
Legumes are rich in some essential amino acids. It must therefore be ingested in combination with other foods which supplement these shortcomings, for example, with cereal. This double (cereal + legumes) can indeed be considered a good protein source.
The digestibility of pulses is optimized, if they are ingested in combination with cereals and vegetables and no animal proteins (meat or fish). It is advisable where possible be ingested organic production of legumes and seeds from not genetically manipulated, as changes resulting from its consumption does not have a proven long-term benefit.
So, can have serious consequences and even still unknown to those who consume seeds or its derivatives with these laboratory changes
