Chapter synopsis: Legumes are a significant source of essential nutrients including dietary fibres, proteins, dietary minerals, and carbohydrates. Abundant in both soluble and insoluble fibre, legumes support colonic and overall health. The chapter describes the impact of grain legume consumption on inflammation, the health benefits of dietary fibre, and possible connections between dry grain legume consumption and carcinogenesis. The chapter explores the relationship between grain legume consumption and gut health, analysing the phytochemical content of grain legumes as well as possible chemical toxicant exposures from grain legume consumption.
