Lectins in Kava

[sdcanoe]

I have been reading about lectin free diets and am wondering if anyone has information on lectins in kava powder. Apparently lectins are high in nightshade vegetables and I read that kava is a nightshade, so now I am curious.

Kava is not a nightshade. It’s a Piperaceae. Piper methysticum is it’s full name.

Thank you very much, that is good to know. I did some more searching and there is an older thread on here with additional information concerning nightshades.
