Dear all,
I was working on a project to improve bioavailability of nutrients on chickpea and haricot bean based Ethiopian diets using traditional household food preparation techniques like soaking and germination. I will be cooking the dishes in Canada using food items shipped from Ethiopia and then I will analyze the nutrient and antinutrient levels. However, I am concerned about using tap water in Canada. I thought that it will affect the mineral values of the food. Could anyone share me their thought or articles if I could use deionized water to solve the issue or other suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
