Thanks for the feedback. The reason I asked was because garden peas can be eaten raw (and are very good). Although they come in a pod I don't think they are a true legume. From what I understand all legumes have to be cooked to make them edible. Garden peas do not. I know only too little about the toxic make up of foods. I don't know what snow peas are, but will do a search to find out. What I am trying to do is omit all non paleo food and see where it leaves me. I am doing this for health reasons, not to just follow a diet. So if my theory for my past syndromes are correct then I should get back to complete health and not have to worry about it reappearing a few months/years down the line. Fran
