aren't legumes and potatoes and other tubers and all grains off the list?
I'm new so I don't know much but I did just read the Audette and Cordain
books and I thought that's what they said (much to my initial dismay)

Lentils are legumes.  I think they need to be soaked for longer
than a few mintues, though.  Overnight is better, and then
thoroughly rinsed.  I have read of lentils being prepared by
being immersed in running water in porous baskets until tender,
then pounded with stones into a kind of meal -- the first hummus.
