BREAK FROM THESE BEANS:

Legumes like chickpeas or peanuts are shunned on the

Whole30 program as they contain high levels of phytates, or

“antinutrients,” which can inhibit the absorption of beneficial

minerals and antioxidants. Cooked green beans and sugar snap

peas, however, are A-OK, as they contain much lower levels.
